Maybe I'm worrying too much and everything's fine.
Sometimes I think, not everything is fine. I'm dealing with a senior bearded dragon. Some times there are set backs in his progress. Sometimes he will have a good day. Sometimes he'll have bad days- set backs.
Today, he rolled over on his back. I was able to get him up and over. He didn't hurt himself because I have several padded items between his 'rock formation' and it's padded. But, after he rolled over on his back, he turned into a limp noodle. I try to make things easier on him. Earlier, he ran back and forth on his basking spot(s) no problem and is able to move down to his cool side and so forth. I had a pillow used as a bed and so I took that out so that he doesn't fall off that. I use padding for his bed (Like a pair of old fleece pants) a cushion I hand sewed. I keep this in his tank to cushion any 'falls'. Sometimes, he will fall on to the cushion and can't right himself. Other times, he does right himself.
So, I took him outside, for fresh air and he seemed alright. Ran around, trying to get to me.
I keep thinking of going back to low basking spots again. I just don't know what to do anymore. I feel my basking spot for his UVB may not be a good idea. But he seems to love sitting there and watching the birds every day.
