Hello all, I just joined the site today, mostly in order to get some advice with respect to my beardie's "hiding" behavior.
Back in May (May 11th to be precise) she underwent surgery to remove eggs due to pre-ovulatory follicular stasis.
The surgery went well and her recovery went great, and within several weeks she was active and eating and exhibiting good behavior all around.
However, over the past month or so she has gone back to the behavior she was showing before the surgery.
She constantly hides away under her hammock and is mostly inactive/lethargic unless we get her out.
She's not eating as much now as she was post-surgery, but she does eat and always gets excited about dubia roaches.
The vet has seen her since the surgery and can't identify anything obviously wrong.
She looks healthy and vibrant and other than the hiding doesn't display any concerning behavior.
I believe her enclosure is equipped with comfortable temps and humidity (see profile for that info), but I'm open to suggestions.
We do have an ceramic heater that comes on during the dark hours that keeps her enclosure warm for that time period.
Anyway, I just wanted to reach out here in case anyone else has been through this or similar and has any advice to offer.
Thanks!
Brandon
