Just a few questions about my beardy.
When i first got him i looked into a containter full of beardies, right away their was one whos tail went up and it stared at me, i imediatly said yeah no doubt thats the one. It ended up being a male that was great, my first beardy looking back on it i shoulda picked one that was probibly not aware of me at all.
My beardy now seems really paranoid, his cage is in my computer room which i spend alot of free time, he watchs me the whole time, he will bask and eat and walk around and try to escape, but he always has an eye on me, if i move my head the side quickly he will make a quick burst and look at me. If i walk in the room instintly his head will turn to the side and stare at me like a lost puppy. Feeding is good, his diet consists of half sized crickets or larger, silk worms, cucumber, carrots, peas and various other vegitbles, his treats seem to be silkworms which im trying to feed him more of compared to crickets and watermelon he seems to really injoy. Its hard to take him out, he runs and hides, ounce i have him out thow he doesnt try to escape, i bring him outside to get some fresh sunlight and he seems to injoy himself. When others attempt to hold him he tends to be a jumper, hes falling over 4 feet on 2 ocasions now, from that i dont like others picking him up at all. the inclosure i have him in is alittle tricky to hold the lid to get him out, cuases some added pressure on him probibly but recently i got him to eat 3 silk worms from my hand, on the 4th one thow he ran away and hid.
Yeah, little story thier i no, just an update on him. Just wondering if he will become alittle more friendly with time, he has never bitten or anything, i would just like him to be alittle more people friendly, with silk worms and hand feeding i think that will help. Just wondering if thiers any ways i can get him to come around, if i should take him out less or for shorter periods, or take him out more, right now i try to take him out 4-5 times a week, when he really resists and runs i let him be becuase i dont want to scare him.
Im hopeing age will fix it all.
Also, i swear daily i can see growth diffrences. :D
ps. he is about 3 mounths old.
