So my bearded dragon is about 6 months old, I've had her for about 4 months. We get along great, I try to take her out to roam my room every day or so and she likes to sleep on me before she goes to bed at night. The past week I have been busy and was unable to take her out much. Today I went to take her out and she ran away from my hand, her beard was puffed out a bit and she was making a very light hissing noise. She loves carrots so I fed her one from my hand and she was okay, but she wont let me near her otherwise.

I'm giving her a break because I don't want to stress her more than I already have, but does anyone know what is going on? I've read that it might be hormones but I also read that it might be 'our relationship', but i am just really concerned so please let me know.
Thanks

This happened with my 3 month old bearded Astro as well I would let him roam around the house every day and then got busy where he was out of his tank less, make sure to hand-feed some treats like super worms or wax worms and don’t approach your beardie from the top as it makes you look like a predator instead put your hand lower than your beardies head and slowly move forward to the body. This won’t stress him out as much as when you come over the top to try and grab him like a predator would do. Good luck :)

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
