Hey gang! I'm getting a bit worried about my beardie. She's about 7 months old, and until lately, she's always been a great eater. (except for the fact that she's never ever eaten any greens)

A few weeks ago, she stopped eating crickets, so I switched to mealworms. She gobbled them up for about a week, but now she will only eat 4-5 every other day. She still poops, but once every 2-3 days now instead of every day. Her last poop was yesterday and it was quite big and all the parts were there. (sorry...a bit graphic)

Anyway, she's also been quite skiddish the past few weeks. She jumps every time I put my hand near her, and hates being picked up. She wasn't even basking for a while, but the last few days that's gotten better.

I'm wondering if her new home set things in motion. Last month I moved her to her bigger cage. She seemed to love it at first though...I dunno.

Oh yeah...top of the basking log is about 105, though she rarely goes to the very top. Inside her cinder block "cave" is about 70.

Any ideas as to what's going on? Thanks, guys!

Niddy & Bindy
