Hi guys,
It's around 12:25 A.M. here in Chicago. I'm probably worrying too much, but today is day 4 of owning my Bearded Dragon, Rigby. He is still getting acclimated as a 2 month old baby, so I understand things might be off for him, but he seems the be lethargic all of a sudden. He didn't really eat today. Maybe like 4 crickets. I offered him crickets 3 times today and he only ate those four this morning. He pooped, and he was hopping around earlier, but now he just seems tired.
I turned off his lamps for night time and turned on his ceramic heat emitter (with a dimmer. I read that I should get rid of my heat rock, so I returned it and bought a CHE with a dimmer) and took my branch that is typically placed under the lamp for his basking spot and put it near the CHE because his belly was cold when I picked him up. It's feels like it's been forever when it's probably only been an hour, and he hasn't moved. When I was messing with the dimmer on the CHE and made some noise around the cage, I got no response from him.
Maybe he's just tired, but I'm so scared that he's not gonna wake up in the morning. I tried doing all that I could, and all I can do is hope and pray that he'll wake up with a good appetite in the morning and that I can do more for him and hopefully he will eat a ton of his crickets.
I don't know if you guys believe in God or the power of prayer, but I sure as heck do. Please pray for my Bearded Dragon, Rigby, and please pray everything will be okay for him. If you don't believe in God or a higher power, please just send your thoughts and love! Thanks for reading this and I appreciate you.
Again, I am probably just worrying too much, but encouraging words (and not too much criticism) will be very helpful for me right now. If you have any suggestions on what I should do, please also comment. I need to sleep, and Rigby is probably doing that right now, so I will see all of this in a few hours.
Thanks guys.
