I could be over exaggerating but I'm pretty sure my little buddy (Haku) hates me. I live really close to a reptile "shop" (or pet store) and I've been in and out of this place for years researching and longing for my very own beardie. Long story short I got a job and my mom finally let me get one. I've got the setup down and do use the same substrate they used at the reptile place. The first couple of days he ate. Yesterday and today he refuses! Nothing works not even the can o crickets ! The owner of 20+ years of experience finds it odd that he won't eat so he gave me these small white worms he feeds all the babies at his shop. I lightly dusted them with calcium and still nothing , his poop seems fine he usually goes once a day but I figured maybe he could be impacted so I gave him a little bit of organic prunes. And he flinched when I touched his nose! I give him water this way and this is the first time he flinched. So I decided to give him space and mist him Instead. After that I reached my hand in and he flinched again. What am I doing wrong? Could he be moody because his UvB/ UVa lamp broke ? So all he has now until my package comes is his basking lamp. (It should come tomorrow I've only had him for a week and I broke it on Tuesday) please give me advice all I want is to give him a happy life! P.S he still runs around and jumps on his logs and his basking area ao what's the matter
