I originally had 2 beardies but last night sadly one of them passed away and I'm not sure whether or not I should get another one.
This beardie enjoyed being handled and was just a lot more used to humans than my other beardie. He doesn't enjoy being handled at all and it stresses him out. Because Im so used to going and grabbing her to handle when Im upset or just want to Im worried that with her passing away I'll grab my other beardie instead which might cause him a lot more stress than needed.
I was also considering trying to train him and get him used to handling but I feel like this would be unfair on him because he is old and probably doesn't have too long left because of that, I feel like I would just be spending the rest of his life stressing him out for my benefit.
But Im also worried buying another beardie would put my current one at risk of parasites or infections and that it would feel like I was trying to replace my old beardie. Im just conflicted and want help deciding
If anyone knows any trusted sellers of beardies I would appreciate it if you pointed me in their direction.
