Please read all of this before responding!
Currently my beardie has been super antisocial and hates any physical contact. Don’t get me wrong, he loves me. He runs over to me during feeding time, doesn’t flinch when im petting him or in general petting him, has never black bearded or even flared his beard at me, and he is super happy now. He just HATES to be held or carried anywhere, no matter how i attempt to hold him, he leaps away and goes back to where he was before, no matter where. But recently, he’s getting bored of what he has. He glass surfs at night and sometimes during the day, i assume because of boredom (He has correct lighting, no loud noises, 4x2x2 tank, etc to cause glass surf) and I really am getting stressed myself because I want him to have a great life and not to be stressed from boredom his whole life.
I want to handle him more but no matter what i try he just leaps away. I REALLY want to bond with him better. Is there any way to get a sub-adult beardie to start to like handling?
If it helps, i moved him into a larger tank today. (he’s been glass surfing in the past enclosure as well)
Any tips to bond?
