Hey guys
Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Ange and I've just purchased my first 8-week old dragon, Gandalf. His viv is all set up and running nicely. Temps exactly how I want them. I think he might be suffering from a bit of relocation stress. Have had him 3 days and he's a bit inactive. Seems to know where his basking spot is. Looks alert when he's there. Notices his food running around but not tried to catch anything yet. He's had a few greens out of my hand and have been misting him daily and noticed he's drinking ok. He's also shedding at the moment which I know might make him a bit sullen. Had a first stool out of him last night which seemed ok if a little bit sloppy. There was also a big chunk of yellow-y substance in there which I hope is the urine element but will be keeping my eye on him. Am trying very hard to just leave him alone and let him get used to his new surroundings but will feel a lot more relaxed when I know he's eating properly again. Any advice you can give at this stage would be a great help.
Thanks a lot
