My dragon hangs off of his branch vertically a good part of the day. Is that due to digestion problems? If so, how can I help him. I am feeding him baby food and small criqs daily. thanks

mine tends to do this as well but I think it is just another part of thermoregulation. By hanging vertically, it lessens the amount of surface area exposed to heat so it doesn't over heat.

Hi
young dragon love a good baskingspot for a good and fast digestion.
how faster he digest how faster he wil poop and faster he wil grow right??
try to get the baskingspot so the higest point on a rock r branch on 115-110 if it get to hot for him they wil shovel up.
always try to have a cool side round the 80 so he can move when he get it warm.
i also would try to give him parazap.com and good bacterias good bacterias r also in a birdfood this is adres of a simulair product i use !!

if you use this food and make a pordrige of it and use teawater of parazap to make the pordrige you hit 2 things same time you give him good bacterias and every thing he needs and you wil give him a better imume system to deal with parasites .
it could be the vet look over a parasite and that can grow stunt to.
but good bacterias r needed to digest well they also called probiotics .
achidophulus also can buy in a human healthstore.
they r capsules you can breal open and then put in a glas of water and then give the water to him several days on a row .
ofthend people forget if beardie get medicines also the good bacterias get killed hee need to digest his food !!
i hope this helps !!!
goodluck dude !
