Rubbing his face on stuff

We got our bearded dragon last night from a reptile rescue guy. He's about 8 months old(ish), but anyhow, he didn't eat any veggies today, and only like 6 crickets. He's also rubbing his snout and face on his basking area and occasionally on the ground. Don't know why he would do this. He's also always trying to climb one side of the cage(might see his reflection???)
Any thoughts? Ideas?

Congrats on your beardie. :D It sounds like he is getting ready to shed. A nice warm soak and maybe even a rub with a nice soft toothbrush would help to make him more comfortable.

Bella does that when she's shedding. She's all over the place rubbing and flipping lol I feel bad for her so Igive her a bath then I feel bad because of the "get me out of here look" when I do :lol:

just shedding.

as for veggies, you need to cut those into smaller pieces, i can see how big they are from here. and if you read anywhere it says that they will have relocation stress and not want to eat normally for a bit.

I concur!! a wet toothbrush with the bath! Maybe even a gentle spritz of the area a couple times a day with a simple water bottle sprayer.

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
