I have seen her do the pancake many times - but this wasn't a pancake - it was more of a ball...... :cry:

Greetings All, I am not sure whether I need to worry about this or just give my beardie a few days. Last week she managed to get out of her cage (not far, just resting on the top). So this past weekend I took her cage (and her obviously) to my parent's house so my dad could build her a cage...

I have this week off (woo hooo for spring break!). So I have been being lazy, getting some craft projects done, etc. I had already taken Maru out for awhile today (we are still slowly working on the whole bonding thing) and had put her back. Finished working out, ate my apple - and when I got...

I didn't have a video camera at the time - but I recently borrowed my parent's for another reason. Maybe I'll just keep it on the table that her viv is on.... :wink: She keeps me so amused. The other day she had run behind a pillow when I had her out - and I went "Oh no - where could Maru...

So the other day I was feeding Maru crickets. She was 1/2 way crawled up on her cave. When I brought the cricket in with the tweezers - Maru did this back flip/spin thing to land on the ground facing the cricket and quick ate it up. I went back to get out another cricket and Maru climbed back...

It is so good to know that I'm not the only one who has had problems! Maru and I are making progress. I have rearranged the half bath downstairs - brought down pillows and such to be comfy - and starting spending time with Maru in there each day. She gets to explore totally safe away from...

So I have been working with Maru mostly every day. She has gotten better and so have I. The best advice was to focus on my hands. I have almost stopped jumping! I also got some really thick fleece gloves. Cousin of mine suggested them to help calm me down - that way if she does bite - it...

Thanks so much guys! Don't worry - I don't give in to the biting and squirming. I simply stay put until she calms down. Then end the session with head petting or something so it ends on a good note for us both :D That much I know from previous pets! I have not intention on giving up on this...

Oh - and just to share how cute she is :D :D She is a little bigger than this now....but hasn't wanted to pose for me lately :lol:

Greetings Everyone, I have a question. I got my beardie at the end of November. It has taken a few months but she will now eat out of my hand as well as let me stroke the top of her head, and usually touch anywhere else on her body. However, she hates to be picked up. If I try to put my...

Thanks! I will check them out!! ~Sola~

Wow - talk about mega crickets *L*. Thanks for that info. I can do that :D I am also working on finding worms! ~Sola~

Thanks for all that great advice! I really appreciate it! I have to find a place around me to get worms or I have to find a site to order from. I only have PetsMart and Petco near me so I will work on it! I do have one question. After lights out - Maru tends to be sleeping 1/2 under her...

Thanks for that information!! I will check out the site! How often do you dust with calcium? Can I overdo it? I am just a nervous and overwhelmed new mommy! I am still reading other posts for ideas as well. Thanks for the help!!! ~Sola~

Thanks for the replies! I checked the cage temp and I am ok there. I am just a nervous new mommy - never having ever had a reptile before or a beardie. It is easy to be patient when I know all is well - I can do that :D Thanks so much for your suggestions!!! ~Sola~
