I've read a couple of people's posts on this site referring to wrapping their beardies up in "beardie burritos" to help with the bonding process. I haven't tried this yet, but when I had rats some time ago, it was often suggested to wear a hoodie sweatshirt backwards and pop the rattie in the hood for bonding time. A rat rescue I know of also makes "bonding pouches" to accomplish the same thing - essentially, just little fleece bags that you wear around your neck and pop your rattie into. The theory is that they get your warmth and scent and that helps them bond to you more quickly.
Here's what a bonding pouch looks like.
I'm wondering if a bonding pouch would be an acceptable substitute for a beardie burrito, or if the act of wrapping your beardie up accomplishes something that a bonding pouch wouldn't do. I'm also worried that doing either could possibly traumatize my already squirmy dragon; I don't think that there's an equivalent in nature for beardie burritos or bonding pouches. Ideas?
