Our beardie is almost continually hiding. He had been very outgoing until early September. Then he started hiding more often in his log.
Last week the house alarm accidently was set off and apparantly rang for 5-10 minutes before the alarm company turned it off. The same day the dishwasher broke and flooded under the cabinets. So there was a lot drilling and sawing going on to try to get the water out. Now, since Wednesday, the house is filled with the roar of high powered fans and dehumidifiers to dry things out. He's been moved to a quieter part of the house, but maybe needs quieter still.
How long do they need to bask after eating to make sure their food gets digested?
Should I remove his hiding places until it's close to bedtime or just long enough to let his food digest?
He had his beard puffed out a couple times in the morning for several minutes at a time. I thought maybe he's shedding and doing it for the reason. But when I gently stroked him he went back to normal.
He's 6 months old and only about 12.5 inches long. He's still eating his crickets like a piggy. His temps are all good and he has the Repti-Sun 10.0.
How do I know if I need to be worried about this?
Any help would be appreciated.
