Going on vacation, have some questions

Not open for further replies.
So I am going on vacation for 5 days. I want to take Bosco with me but my girlfriend simply wont have it. I hear that if you don't handle your beardy for that long that they will not trust you the next time you go to handle them and you essentially have to start all over. My guy is just starting to come around after being super skittish. Is this true?

That's not true. They can be left on their own and be just fine and you don't need to start over again. That said, since he's so young I wouldn't leave him alone for more than a day or two without having someone stop by to offer him some fresh food. An adult can be left with a salad for several days but that can be rougher on a little one. Since it's a 5 day trip I would set it up so someone can stop by to check in on him and feed him at least a couple of times during the week. If the lights aren't already on timers, I'd set that up as well so that is all automated. It helps them to have a set schedule for lighting even when you're around.

He will have someone giving him a salad, crickets, and water every day. I just dont want him to go back to his super finicky stage that it took forever to get him out of

That's good then. I don't think he will revert back. I've left my dragons quite often, up to 3 weeks a couple of times, and they're no different in terms of behavior or demeanor when I get back.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
