My BEARDED DRAGON IS CRAZY NOW!!??

[ehzool]

I've had my bearded dragons for about 7 months. From when he was a baby until he was uh... 7 months. He was the laziest thing on the planet. He would stay in one spot pretty much the whole day. Maybe he'd move once or twice but that was it.

Then I moved his cage maybe 20 feet. Now he's acting CRAZY! He runs around his cage SOOOO much and its really loud and kind of annoying lol. It looks like he's trying to escape. He does this for hours. I took him out once to let him run around and ran around my room like a mad man. (He never use to run around my room. He usually just sat on the floor)

-The temperatures are EXACTLY the same in his new location
-I'm feeding him exactly the same as I was before.
-Tile is at the bottom
-I'm think I'm doing pretty much everything right it's just weird how this suddenly happened and not much has changed.

The only weird thing is (He still poops everyday) but they're REALLY TINY poops compared to what he use to make... What's going on?

Hi. Are you 100% sure he's a he. Might be a gravid female.

I'm not really sure at all xD I've just always called him a he and I thought i saw bumps on his legs.

I've had my bearded dragon since it was only a month old and it's never come in contact with any other bearded dragons for 7 months.

It doesn't matter if there is another beardie or not . Females can and do carry infertile eggs. So if I were you id sex him/her a gain. You need to lift the tail and look and see if there is one bump above the vent its a girl. If there are 2 above the vent male. You can Google sexing bearded dragons and it will tell you and show you how. If it is a female you need to make her a lay box.

If he is a male, when my boy went through "puberty" he went through a couple week phase of acting like a weirdo and running around his cage like a lunatic. Usually I just always took him out when he was throwing a fit but at times he got really territorial. It passed on its own.

I would double check temps just to make sure things arent too warm.
