When am I allowed to panic?

[spyder79]

yes it is normal for relocation stress to affect them this way. trust me give another week or less and he will perk up like no other. did you block his view out?

 

[sbattisti]

did you block his view out?

I'm going to work on that tonight. I don't know what I have in the house that can block it off. Plus, my doors are on the front, so that makes it more complicated.

 

[spyder79]

its wood on 3 sides and glass in the front correct

take a thin towel and lay it over the door then close the door on it. that should work for blocking his view and keep the door closed without your latching mechanism (since that will be blocked by the towel)

No, actually, it's glass on all sides, although one side is blocked by a background.

Steve, I'm so sorry that Khalil is still feeling on edge with this new home. I hope he turns for the better soon! Were you able to get in touch with Tom? Maybe he'll have more advice for you.

Tom wants me to calm down and be patient. Hard tasks.

You need to come read my thread. I think I've had at least a crisis a day with Lilly lately lol. I'm not sure how many people will tell me I'm blowing things out of proportion before I'll finally listen!

for a lil guy no not really.. i totally understand your concern my advice is next time he poops get it ina plastic bag and stick it in your refridgerator and call the vet to scedule a fecal.. it seems he may have parasites..young beardies dont sleep unless there light is off heck max si 8 months odl and he dont sleep unless his light is off ..if its not off and he wnats to be lazy he lounges on his log by the water dish or his fake climbign thing ..in his basking spot

 

[spurlee01]

I really doubt it's parasites. It sounds like typical relocation stress.

 

[demonsmomma]

i dont thin its relocation stress,,they dont sleep during relocation stress..or at least none that i know of have slept during it ..

Steve, if it makes you feel any better, Dewey (it's his official name!) just ran over to his salad, grabbed a few bites and then ran up to the vine that I have hanging in his cage. He's now chilling on top of it. The reason I'm hoping it gives you hope is because I can't even tell that he ate any of it. There's just so much salad in the bowl it's hard to tell. I'd say there's a good possibility that Khalil may be munching on his salad and you just can't tell any of it's missing. Hopefully soon you'll see for yourself that he is eating and that he'll be ok!

Although parasites are possible at any age. Im still going with relocation stress, plain and simple. None of His clutch mates are ill, or lethargic or anything.
I stand by the health of my animals and if this becomes a serious problem I will make it right. Im reading all the post on here and I know all are meant with the best of intentions. I think as a group we are over complicating a simple thing.

I agree. Lilly is so sneaky about her salad eating that I can never tell for sure! (Steve, for what it's worth IMHO its not parasites)

i have been working with these animals for a long time and so has tom and i am 99.9% certain it is relocation stress

New babies can be a challenge at the beginning, but I too had one baby that took a week before he started to eat............so hang in there, stress relocation can be difficult, but they come around.
