so I’ve had my bearded dragon for almost 2 months and she is always super kind, still a bit scared of me sometimes but for the most part she’s doing well. Is very healthy, she stays hydrated, eats well, poops daily and is growing however I noticed that whenever she sheds she seems to not wanna be touched, gets very grumpy all day, seems to kind of hide underneath a log in her tank, and basically wants nothing to do with me :(. but I’ve noticed that this only happens when she sheds ?? because once most of her shed is off she is completely white beard / belly 24/7, I can get near her & hand feed her & per her sometimes & she’s overall very happy all day.

so I was wondering is there such thing as “shedding behavior” ?? because I believe she only acts very grumpy when she sheds ...

Yeah grumpiness during shedding is very common. It can vary between dragons and between sheds. While shedding is normal for them, I think it's pretty uncomfortable for them and they are relieved when the sheds are finally done. Lack of appetite during shedding is also fairly common.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
