I posted a meesage yesterday but I don't know if anyone saw it. My baby beardie is sleeping all the time! What does that mean? He is in a different spot sometimes but usually sleeping, except when I take him out and put him in the sunlight or directly under a light. But I think that is just to avoid the heat. Many people responded about his other behavior and said it was probably shedding but I never really mentioned the sleeping. What's up with the sleeping???

You need to first make sure your temperatures are correct for him and not to hot or to cold.

If that is good, then you need to get a fecal sample to a vet and have it checked for parasites, this is not uncommon in babies expecially that have changed enviroments recently due to the stress or prior care.

Left untreated it will compromise his health as he will not eat and what he does eat is not going to him but the parasites. Its usually a $10-$15 test and can tell you a lot about what might be wrong with him.
