Hi everyone, we just adopted an 18 mnth old Beardie that we call "Spike". We have had him for 1 1/2 weeks and at first he was pretty friendly. However, he has been irritable since Saturday. When we first brought him home, he liked to be picked up and let my 7 year old even put little lettuce hats on him. However, Saturday he was in the back of his cage and flared up and opened his mouth at us. He calmed down Monday and we picked him up last night and he was fine. Tonight, however, he was in the back again. Didn't flare but still did not look friendly.
I noticed that when we first adopted him that he was shedding a little on his face and his tail is now turning gray. His former owners said he was due to shed anytime. Could this irritable behaviour be because of shedding? I am really concerned because we adopted him for my 7 year old son and I am afraid to let him hold him because of this behaviour! :|
