Hi, I'm about to purchase a Beardy (already named it cus im that eager) and was wondering if anyone could tell me how long am i able to keep a baby beardy out of its vivarium and what age does this change ? Many thanks ?
Not too long at first, and it also depends on whether or not he's skittish. A stressed baby may try to bolt so it can be tricky to have it out. Once they're used to a bit of handling [ sometimes within a week, others 2 weeks or longer ] then you can take them out for 15-30 minutes but not soon after they eat....they need at least 2 hours in the heat of the tank to digest a large meal.
Every dragon is different though, so you'll have it figured out a few weeks after you get him/her.
