I got my juvenile bearded dragon four days ago. He has been absolutely fine and eating live insects and vegetables and pooping okay. He spends most of his time up near the heat lamp and will sometimes have a little run around.
Of course sometimes when I get up from my bed and go near him he’s a bit jittery and he doesn’t want to be picked up yet. We’ve tried to give him a bath and managed to just pick up some water and drip it down his back while he sat in one of our hands. We also drip water on his head in hopes he’s get hydrated that way.
This morning I got out of bed and just sat by him like i’ve done for the past 3 days but this morning he was waving at me and puffing up his beard. I don’t know why he’s doing this now and I don’t want him to be aggressive toward me but I want to know why this is only happening now and not sooner. He’s been completely fine the last 3 days and only now has he acted this way towards me
The last thing I want is for him to feel unsafe or threatened, does anyone know why he’s doing this now and what I can do to earn his trust?
