Today my bearded dragon got his claws on a gummy bear and took it in his mouth. I ended up having to chase and catch him to pry it from his mouth. His beard went black, and he won't let me touch him, so I know I made him angry and anxious. I'm worried that now he won't want to be with me. He's usually very tactile and likes to sleep on my chest, but now he won't let me near him.

Will he never let me touch him again? Have I ruined our relationship entirely? Or will he move past this? I'm worried because I love this little guy and didn't mean to make him upset, I just didn't want him to eat something so sugary and sticky.

You definitely did the right thing in taking the candy away from him. Give him some time to settle... and yes, some beardie-appropriate treats, handfed, would definitely be in order... and he'll come around. You haven't destroyed your relationship; you just need to give him time to settle and forget.

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.
