Hey. Tad bit o help plz. Just got a juvenile beardie 2 days ago and she has only eaten one cricket. She is about 6" maybe shorter. She is sleeping quite a bit. I am hoping she is just .getting used to her home. A 40 gallon vs the 5 gallon she shared with 2 others at the pet store.
She can move walk and climb fine but she for the most part sits still accept to move to a new place to sleep. Tank sits at about 80 all the time even with just the night light.
Even trying to hand feed her she just closes her eyes and turns her head. And a few times even running from the crickets.
I have started spraying her because her tail is very light almost white, so likely to peel soon. When sprayed she perks up and drinks off her face or my hand. And this morning she drank a little water off her veggies and pellets. But will not drink from her dish.
Edit: She is 8" nose to tip of tail. Just got home from work she hasn't touched her greens and was more or less in the same spot I left her 9 hours ago. Got her to drink some water by misting and put her back sleeping on her basking spot. Night lights are on day are off. Will move her to other side so she doesn't get cold.
New updates: She has eaten 2 more crickets and a bite of cucumber. She also is still drinking from a spray bottle but not from bowl. She has gone to the bathroom once. Tonight will mark 2nd day 3rd night from pet store. According to store associates she was the greedy one i- the tank stealing all the crickets from the other juvi's
