Shedding done, less active

[Beardie321]

So my guy just finished shedding, he finished yesterday. Today he has been very lazy, still eating but he is eatting less. Is this normal? It is my first beardie so I just want to make sure he is all good. Also his poop has been smelling a lot worse, I did mention this in another thread but it has contiunted. IT doesn't smell up my room just his cage. Honestly, I think he might be dehydrated from research, but before i drown him, I wanted to make sure. Just kidding !!! But before I do make him drink some water just wondering if it is a normal sign of shedding. Also it probably took him 7-14 days to actually shed this skin off, seemed like along time.
Thanks-

How often do you bathe him?

At least once a week

You should really bathe him every day when he is shedding.

I will do that next time. Any idea if anything is wrong? Lot less active Waste smells, it is also a lot smaller.

Could be parasites, take a sample to the vet and get a fecal done.

I sent one to beardeddragon.co on Thursday as routine. Still haven't gotten back to me -_- I am getting upset.

Was the poop and urate soft in consistency or hard as a rock? If both were dry and the urate chalk-like, then that's dehydration.

At the very least, you should bathe your beardie every other day. If you don't have the time for that, you could try giving him oral fluids via eye dropper or syringe on a daily basis.
