MY NEW BEARDIE

I am so worried right now!
I do not know what to do. My new beardie (who has been with me for a week) is not active. In fact I would says he's boring! I mean not just basking but if I leave him somewhere (like a stone) he will stay there for about an hour and not do anything (like he is thinking). He eats well though!!!
I mean when I give him a bath his stress marks nearly disappear but when he goes inside his viv then they appear dark as ever! He had pooping problems in the last few days (not pooing for 6 days) but he pooped yesterday.
My Setup:
.20 gallon Exo Terra Tank
.Arcadia Mini D3 UV Basking Bulb (MVB)
.Feed Locusts size between eyes
.Bathe twice daily to reduce stress
Can I attribute this to relocation stress as I've had him for a week
He is quite boring compared to what I hear of everybody else's Beardies :lurk:
Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!

How old is he. he may be brumating or have impation.

How big is he? He may need more UVB and a larger enclosure.

He's only two months old about 8-9 inches
Any ideas?

Hi there....the dragon looks like the picture of health and is basking contentedly....there's no movement to show anything otherwise. They don't all jump around, and stress marks are likely because he's new + still settling in. Nothing to worry about at all by all appearances. For extra hydration, offer water via syringe/eyedropper on his snout. To help him poo. add a bit of canned pumpkin and mix a few drops of water. For now, just relax + enjoy him.

My best guess is that it's stress related to relocation. Perhaps he needs more/better UVB, but his enclosure seems nice. I'll be watching the thread for others opinion. Good luck with him.

Wow Really!
Thanks Everybody!
It's just that when I read everybody else's posts they mention how active their Beardie is :lurk:
What about the stress marks? And he lost his appetite in the last day? He also has not pooped in the last three days. Last time I gave him some olive oil and he pooped. Hopefully it will work again. He also is starting to shed. Does that explain the stress marks? (and they are really dark!)
I worry constantly!!! :? :roll:

 

[Reptiles4Life]

you welcome and yes shedding is stressful my bearded dragon is shedding and hes stressed and it may change his appetite so i think you should do the olive oil again and he will be ok.

 

[BeardiesAreBoss]

Why doesn't he eat though? He was a very big eater but in the last two days he lost interest in his locust. Almost seems scared? He just doesn't even notice them
What can I do? :?: :? :?:

 

[Reptiles4Life]

maybe get different food i heard they may just no eat when they shed.

Sometimes they lose their appetites right around the time that they shed.
