I have a bearded dragon, Arnie and he's been behaving really weirdly these past few weeks. He spends every day running around his vivarium with a black neck. I've checked his food, temperature, water and everything is fine. I've tried to handle him at least once a day but he seems really reluctant and tries to jump away from me when he's on my lap. It's weird because he's usually very relaxed, and now he suddenly looks stressed all the time.
Any advice would be much appreciated
He's just about a year old. Nothing has changed in his surroundings (except maybe about 2 months ago, i turned down his temperature slightly because he didn't move very much.) He's sort of losing his appetite a bit, but he eats 5th hoppers and meal worms. I have been encouraging him to eat lettuce, apple, banana and carrot but he doesn't really touch it. He last pooed this morning. His temperature is set at 34 degrees Celsius at the moment, but I turn it down a couple of degrees at night. On the floor of his vivarium is wood chips on the right, and sand on the left. I don't bath him very often, probably about once every 2 months. His last bath was two weeks ago.
Not sure if that test alone would be enough for a leo as the worms they test for on the other faecal test appears to be different.
Plus it does say for torty's
