Hi all!
So I just got my first beardie today, he is a 4 year old rescue. Always wanted one but after seeing this guy that was being given away as he wasn't being bothered with any more, it felt like this was the time!
He seems like he will be a nice temperament (didn't try to bite me when I collected him) and he seems confident- he stepped out of the box into his new viv within a minute or so and ate some salad within about 10 minutes! At the moment he is basking on his log, but every half an hour or so, he 'window surfs'- and his beard is still pretty dark (it was black earlier). I assume this is normal as he is in a totally different viv and house?
I have been advised not to feed him any live food for 2 days until he is settled, I wondered if people agreed with this? Also, when would you say would be OK to start stroking him? (He let me when I collected him but I don't want to stress him in his new environment)
Anyway, super excited to make friends with this little guy and any advice would be awesome!
Thanks,
Nikki
