Hi guys,
New to forum (will post in Hi forum later) but got first Beardie yesterday
My issue is that when got him home and housed (he's 2 months old), he was happy... chasing his crickets around and feeding. He then found the heat lamp which hangs from roof and has a cage around it.
We found him clinging onto the cage, so we extremely carefully extracted him from it and put on his basking log underneath. However, he has obviously leapt up again and has made his way around the back of the cage where it is nearly impossible to get my hand around to, and to try and dislodge him could cause injury.
Will he be OK up there? Will he come down on his own when it's feeding time? Is it too high for him? What can I do to tempt him down but not encourage him to fall off and injure himself? I know they climb and like to be high point for superiority etc... but didn't expect him to obviously 'jump' onto the lamp fitting cage!!
Think will have to name him Spidey or something!
