Hi everyone!
I got my first ever beardie yesterday morning. I think his tank setup is pretty decent, and temps are good. I'm just worried because he hasn't eaten much, maybe 8-10 small dubia and a couple superworms. He didn't touch the crickets I gave him. He hasn't touched his salad or pellets either but I wasn't surprised about that.
I've heard about relocation stress, in your guys experience, how long did it last? I've also been moving him into a plastic tub lined with paper towels to feed (I'm going to get something better this week), do you think that could be causing more stress? The tank he's currently in has one of those styrofoam backgrounds and places for the bugs to hide so I'm reluctant to feed him in there. I already had one try to hide under the reptile carpet.
He did poop today and seemed to enjoy his bath last night.
