agressive while shedding?

[cautiontapeman]

is it normal for a beardie to be somewhat agressive when they shed? becuase i hold my beardie all the time but when i went to get the little one out it seemed to try and bite my finger today. is this normal?

Beardeds can get quite grumpy when shedding. Just leave them alone to do the job, other than bathing, don't pick them up. In a few days, your baby should be back to his normal loving self, and you can return to the normal routines.
Hope this helps, also not all beardeds can be grumpy during shed, only those special ones :wink:

does shedding also affect pooping/feeding too? and thanks for the info about the agression.

Oh, they can be "rumps" when they're shedding. Mine just went through a full head shed and she was totally insane for a few days . She hardly ate a thing for almost a week. I absolutely hate when they don't eat. I know she won't starve herself, but I could see her losing weight. You'd think after 5 years I'd be used to it. It's just like having children, you never stop worrying.
