I got a new beardie Friday night. I am a new beardie owner. I was wondering about the baths. Is this a must? How many times a week/month? When should I start bathing my new beardie? I dont want him to freak out on me when I put him in the water.
Also, how do I know my beardie wants to be held? I left him alone the first day I got him. Saturday morning, I visited his cage every hour. That night I got him out. I wrapped him in one of my shirts. He was calm for about 3-5 min. and then started moving around. Mostly he liked going to the back of the couch and looking around. Then layed down and closed his eye. Does this mean he wants to get back in is cage? Or is he just checking things out? I want him to be comfortable when I handle him, so I am looking for any tips. Sunday he started eating out of our hands, so this somewhat means that he is comfortable with us right?
If you have any tips for me as a new beardie owner I would greatly appreciate it! Also and ways/signs to know if he is mad/scared, where I need to put him back in is cage.
Thanks so much!
**edit** I got my beardie from petsmart, he is a baby
