How old? Substrate? Temps? Where did you get him? Vet yet? Without knowing more the only thing I can say is try a soak in pee warm water.

He was born Jan 16th, just got him yesterday(saturday), and no vet yet, I think he may just need to eat, but not sure, thanks for the help

you will have to give us more information about your setup. what is his basking temperature, do you use uvb lights. what does his cage setup consist of, is he on sand, papertowel, something else?

what have you been trying to feed him? is he drinking at all? is he still breathing, sinec you said he hasn't moved since you bought him?

with what information you mentioned so far, all we know is he isn't moving and is just uner 7 weeks old.

heartmountian, pee warm water would be too hot for a bearded dragon bath, our internal body temperature is about 96F, bearded dragon baths should be closer to 70-75F lol

My Zilla took a while to adjust. I was really worried. Someone told me to cover the sides of the cage with paper for several weeks, to allow him to adjust. I covered the sides with green construction paper and it helped, I believe. Eventually, I took off one side and then the other. I had also been told to gradually get him used to me, not handle him a lot in the beginning.

He is more active now, and yes he is alive, I was just worried cause the last beardie we had was very active exploring the cage and everything, but this one just sat where ever we put him, I was confirmed by a local beadie breeder that he was just cold, needed some heat, he didn't want to expel the energy to climb close enough to the light, like i said all is well now, and I appreciate the help
