Ok, I need some help and I don't know that anyone is going to know the answer. We recently moved and of course our three beardies went with us. They have had a rather hard time adjusting but after a little over a week things seem to be somewhat normal. Here is what I cannot figure out. Yesterday and the day before I alternate having the three beardies out. The last two days they each seem to go to the kitchen and look our the sliding glass door and then start walking around in the kitchen. ALL THREE of them the past two days absolutely freak out. One took off running full speed and ran into the wall. The second took off full speed (the fastest I have seen any of my chubby little guys run) and ran right into the living room and under a chair and the third ran right into the living room and up my leg to my shoulder. I watched them last night and I cannot figure out what is freaking them out. It seems that they are not looking outside when they freak. I am afraid to let them out because I am worried they will hurt themselves and of course I don't want to cause them unnecessary stress. Once I pick them up and cuddle then their heart rate goes back down and they will go lay somewhere in the living room but they won't go back into the kitchen until the next day. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be spooking them.? Sorry so long.

a ceiling fan? anything hanging up? a bird feeder outside the window? trees blowing outside the window? could be anything, could be something in your kitchen, could be that they just need some adjustment time, got a picture of the room to post? lol, these little guys get freaked out about the strangest things sometimes, but being that its all 3 of them there has to be something in there they all see as a threat... hrmmmmm

One of mine freaks outside he flares and opens his mouth every time a bird or a shodow from above moves. This is whats causing yours to bug out. Some of mine love going outside some freak and I can't take them outside. A lot of the time it's birds flying over head.
