Hi all!
Today i moved Chilli, my bearded dragon, into a new bigger viv! She'd gone from one that was 2ftx1ft to one thats 4ft by 2ft, roughy!
She's got plenty of places to hide,climb, relax, hot spot+light! No temps or feeding have changer but she's going MAD! For the last few hours she's running arround,scratching like mad on the inside of the viv+climbing ALOT! I expected some increase in activity bcos of exploring her new environment, but she's acting crazy!!!
Is this normal??
Thanks :) |

It's not her viv. 
Was the viv second hand? if so, what was housed in it previously? |

| the viv was new wheni bought it+was empty for months, but half of it did house a boa for a few months! that was months ago thought, and Its been cleaned with reptile cleaner+warm water at least 4 times prior to her moving in. I know she's exploring, but the stress of moving wont make her ill will it?? She really needed more space+seems to be loving it, if not being abit noisy! |

I wouldn't have thought the move would cause a massive amount of stress, she may well feel a little jumpy simply due to having a lot more space but that should subside fairly quickly.
I've known a lot of beardies (2 of mine included) that went off their food for about a week after moving into a bigger home as well so she may possibly do that too. |

Mine do that when they go out as well, I think it's to do with how wide open it is, and having no hiding places close by. They are open to predators.
