A couple of weird behaviors

[acgordon]

Roran keeps me on my toes. He is about 7 months old and in the past four days has not pooped in his cage or his baths. He waits until I let him on my bed and bee lines it to my computer to poop right beside the mouse pad! Luckily he is going where I can clean it but still! After Roran, my mac book pro is my prized possession! I think it might be jealousy, not sure.

Today and yesterday my Dad put Roran to sleep with a guitar! My Dad is going on a mission trip so he is tuning a guitar he is going to leave in the Ukraine as well his own. While singing and tuning, Roran has on both days gone to lay in his favorite hammock and close both eyes and sleep in the middle of the day! Anybody else experience these two things with their beardies?

Well the poo thing is totally normal. Our older dragon hates having poop in his cage so he will wait until he gets out and poop. We have learned to bathe him before he comes out to play so that he poops in the bath. I don't know about the music though. Neither dragon seems affected by music at all.

I have been doing that the whole time I have had him. Recently he has decided the computer is a replacement for the bath.I tried to pick him up mid pee (with a paper towel beneath his little booty) and place him back in the water. He stopped going! I even left him in there a bit and rubbed his belly but nothing. He seemed mad at me too, but pooping on the computer is just not going to happen. I don't care how cute he is, not happening!

Aw, what a booger. Maybe you can stick papertowel by your cpu and teach him to go on the paper towel? I've heard of people doing that.

Yea, that seems to be what I am going to have to do. I am a bit worried how he is going to react when I finish his new cage. I have heard some don't locate well to their new cages. Knowing him, booger is a good description, he will start pooping on ME!

My boyfriend's pooped on me twice before I began DEMANDING baths before play time. Boyfriend thought it was hilarious though. Relocation stress really just depends on the dragon. If possible, make sure favorite furniture (rocks, logs, etc) goes with him to make the transition easier.

Well he pooped in the bath today, thank goodness! I thought why not try that leash I got him today, it was a no go! He sat there and let me put it on him but as soon as I put him on the floor he tried to run away from the string. When he reached the end of the leash he started flailing his arms and legs and then ran back to me to let me take the dreaded thing off. Maybe I will give it a try a little down the road...
