2 weeks ago i received a 1 year old bearded dragon from a family member who was in desperation to get rid of him, he is called Derik. He came with the a viv, 2 bulbs and a hide which is to small for him.
For a week and a half i had him on reptile carpet but he seemed desperate on digging so 2 days ago i put him on sand and eco earth mix and pebbles like he was used to(to big to eat dont worry).
But ever since ive got him hes been glass surfing a lot. (climbing against the glass)
He is also scared of being picked up and handled but is ok with being hand fed, he runs away if i dont have food.
He hasnt had proper interaction with humans in 6 months so i think he just associates us with food.
The temperatures are 32-35 degrees and drop to 25 at might, he alwyas had water, he gets fed 6-12 size 4 black crickets 3- 4 times a week and fresh veg/ fruit every day or every other day.
He usually runs away when i put my hand in but occasionally lets me stroke him, sometimes he darts off.
Can anyone help me with these issues please, particularly the glass surfing one.
