Hi All, new here to the forum and have had our baby 4 month old bearded dragon a week now after sadly our 10 year old boy Rex who died from a tumour.
Little Prawn was very active the first 3-4 days of bringing him home, eating well with his live food not so much veg at lunchtime. He poo'ed on the 2nd day too. Over the last few days he has been not active at all and hiding in the leaves over the shady side, not eating unless I offer food to his mouth with tweezers, eyes closed a lot, not going over to bask basically not leaving shadier area and looks like asleep constantly. I have noticed that he is shedding a bit on his tail and head.
I went back to the reptile shop I got him from yesterday and explained his behavior and that I was worried with the inactivity and change- also to note I am not touching him for 4-6 weeks so he adjusts to new surroundings. Told them about my set up they said was fine and was just because he is shedding. I'm just not convinced.
Prawn was also greeting us at front of viv window in the morning every morning and his fave spot was on top of a big log , now not coming out from under leaves at all over past 2 mornings.
Is this normal behavior for a baby beardie just been bought? Should I be concerned? Is he stressed with coming out of the reptile shop?
