Hey everyone I’m new here so thanks for having me!
I am open to any suggestions on how to help my beardie be less scared and nervous. For reference Evo is almost a year old and ever since I bought him he has been super skiddish and it was a lot of work to get him to where he is but I feel like I’ve hit a roadblock.
Recently he has been exceptionally good and relaxed but randomly out of nowhere he will be absolutely terrified of me or anything that moves and will fully puff at me if I go near him. Most of the time in the house he will be super dark and head down whenever he sees someone else in the house but after taking him out he is usually good because he recognizes it’s me probably from sent. Any suggestions with this? For reference here are the things I have already tried;
-changing UV bulb
-more time to run around the house
-moving enclosure to or away from windows
-spending more time with him/exposing him to more
-taking him to places
-changing diet around
-giving him baths (he doesn’t like to swim but he is happy after)
-changing temperature and basking spots
-giving him lots of space
I do notice that he only acts that way the morning after he fell asleep on the floor in a particular part of the house, in addition he’s been refusing to eat his greens lately so he’s been on a bit of a hunger strike but this doesn’t seems to be correlated, please help thanks!
