Hand feeding is an awesome way to bond with your dragon, but as I found out today, too much of a good thing is actually kind of funny/bad.
Every time I dump crickets in the tank, I start off with hand feeding my beardie 3-5 crickets - dumping the rest. For about a month, this was working and today he jumped on my hand to get out of the tank. The problem? He thinks my finger is edible. The bite doesn't hurt at all and it feels like someone gave it a light flick, but still. Avoid hand feeding too much!
