Stuffed Animal

Hi! I am new to this page and I am a new Beardie mom! I have always wanted one, and a family friend was looking for a new home for his! I have had him almost 2 weeks now! His name is Roku :)
Anyway, I read online that sometimes beardies like to have a stuffed animal to cuddle with in their enclosure. I got a small black mythical dragon stuffed animal a few days ago and put it in Roku's tank. Today, I saw him biting the arm of the dragon and dragging it around and then doing a few body twists (it reminded me of what gators do when they are trying to drown pray...). Is this okay? Is he just playing or is he angered/threatened/irritated with the toy? If so, I want to take it out! (Though he wasn't puffed up much...again I am very new to owning a beardie so maybe he was...)

Hiccup he is 6 and Blaze is 4
I have a stuffed chameleon in Blazes tank and he doesnt even notice it - I have seen him sit on it once- not sure about the behavior yours is doing -- if hes eating it I would take it out

I'm new as well, but I have lots of experience with dogs. I wonder if he is possibly trying to mate with it?

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.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
