Hi everyone!
I have a dunner beardie named Rango, he is absolutely gorgeous and so amazing! He is almost 5 months old. He does a few weird things that has me researching if there are any behaviors or things that are unique to the dunner.
I read online they can hold food in the back of their throat for extended periods of time and are known to do that? He def does ALOT of throat flexing and other weird throat behaviors and I wonder if that could be part of this! They say it doesnt cause problems usually. He also has alot of saliva but no other symptoms (so im not worried this is an URI but i do have his first vet wellness appt coming up and plan to ask)
I also read dunners are recommended only for experienced owners, which is weird to me (Just saw that on one post, but i would love more info on this and why, i wouldnt call myself an experienced owner but ive had beardies before and im sure his husbandry is on point) but id love to know if there are things to look out for.
Id love to know any other specific behaviors of the dunner, or anything else that sets them apart from other beardies. Specifically if I need to keep an eye out for anything or if theres anything I can do to take the best possible care of him.
Thank you all!
