My bearded Dragon Chance was an amazing little guy. One that i could hold cuddle and do anything with no matter what. Now he is over a foot long and i would say 6-7months of age i believe. Now all of a sudden Chance freaks out when i try and pick him up. He will run from me, trying and bite me and avoid me. When i do grab him he thrashes back and forth. Gapping his mouth and what sounds like hissing at me. Once I have him up out of his tank he stops. His temps are perfect and he has a Rept sun 10.0 tube that he can get 6inchs from. I am feeding him Roaches 20 twice a day and 2 salads a day. I do not dust them with any type of powder as i believe dubias do not need any extra powder (please correct me if I am wrong) What I have tried doing to corret this behavior is feed him by hand and also not allow him to hunt his food any more. I pick him up every time no matter what. Once he settle downs i present the roachs in a cup for him to eat out of while in my hand. I am trying to get into his head "if i let him pick me up I GET FOOD!!!" Then i put him on my shoulder and let him chill up there for about 20 mins. I might feed him some greens while he is chilling. This has been going on for about 3 weeks now and I do this routine every day and nothing has changed at all. What else can I do or do I just keep doing what I am doing?? Please Help
