Hi All,
I am new to this forum and looking for some help. We have a 7 month old beardie who is of a really sweet nature, so we typically let him out in the lounge to run around.
Though today he was trying to get past my partner on the sofa and fell off (distance of about 30 cm), she went to pick him up and he puffed out his beard, hissed and ran underneath the sofa.
We left him for 10 mins to see if he would come out, so in the end i lifted up the sofa and he got very aggressive with me (beard, hissing and very defensive). So i had to throw a towel over him to pick him up and put him back in the viv. As soon as he was in the viv he ran straight into the corner and tried to hide.
This is out of character and i think he may have hurt himself or maybe associated us with his fall. I am really looking fot your feedback on this? If this does not approve over the next couple of days i will take him to the vets in case he has hurt himself.
Any help would be really appreciated!
Josh
