Handling baby bearded dragon

[MusikalMadness]

Would it harm my baby bearded dragon's health if I handled him frequently while he is so young? He doesn't see to mind and if he has stress marks they usually go away when I stroke him. There have been a few times where I tried to put him back and he turned around and crawled right back up my arm. :lol: I was just curious. Thank you!

Of course not! The more you hold him now, the easier he'll be to handle as he gets older. So cuddle away!

i so agree , the more the cuddles the better for you and your beardie .

He's training you to be a good beardie slave by crawling back up your arm. Redrock would try that when I 'd put her in to sleep when I wanted to sleep but she was to tired to fight. Zoom Zoom and Speedy both do that. Zoom Zoom did that yesterday when she wanted out of the bath I'd put her in after about 2 minutes. "Silly little one, how can you get enough water if you don't soak?"
