we finally got my beardies enclusure completely finished a few weeks ago and moved her into it. every since then she hasnt acted quite the same. for example: i used to be able to get her out and leave her on the couch without having to worry about mistakes, now i cant set her down anywhere outside her cage without her taking a poo.. example number two: she used to be extremely active.. running around and crawling over everything, now just just stays inside her hide and rarely comes out... example number three: she doesnt eat as much as she used to. she wont eat pinkies at all now, only crickets.. and only takes a few bites of her greens/veggies.. could she be depressed/sick maybe about a habitat change?

prob a stress prob they get stressed when you move them so wait a week and if she doesnt get back to normal get a stool sample down to the local herp vet.

Give her a week or so to acclimate to the new enclosure. Very likely a stress issue.

update on my girl..
she seems to be doing a little better, but still not at her usual self. she's started eating more and has been roaming around the enclosure a bit. if she's not back to her self within a few days im taking her to the vet just as a precaution.

I wouldn`t worry too much.
Give it some time.
I moved Dr. Gonzo into another enclosure before and he did the same thing for 2 weeks or so.
Yesterday I bought him an even bigger "condo", and he`s hiding again.
I`d say nothing to worry about. He`ll come around.
