    Hey guys! I'm trying to figure out how to properly handle a new beardie and the whole relocation stress thing. He seems to hide a lot in his little cave, and he isn't really eating besides a few greens he surprisingly took from being hand fed today. He is slowly warming up to me and will climb...
