Handling issues

[thegame345]

My beardie who is about 3 months old os not scared of me. He eatsout of my hand and lets me pick him up but once on my hands he will not sit still. He shows no signs of agression and just seems interested in exploring. I'm wondering if this os normal and if it is just becaise of age or if he is trying to run away. Any advice would be helpful

Probably age and curiosity. Pepper was an unyielding explorer at that age, he wouldn't stay near me for the world. Can you make a safe place for you to sit with him while he adventures?

Both my dragons were SUPER active when they were younger, that's a great thing! It's a sign of good health. Getting either of them to sit still has pretty much impossible until they were quite a few months old, I wouldn't be too worried if I was you.

I agree, he's exploring. It's really fun to watch the little guys explore the house. He'll probably do that his whole life to an extent, but will slow down and be a bit lazier as he ages as has been said. Enjoy this stage while it lasts, it's fun =)

I was thinking of using the bathroom with the door closed and toilet closed ect. But it has cold tile flooring so he moght get chilly. I was thinking of laying out towels on the floor so he wouldn't get too cold. I don't want to use my bedroom because there are too many hiding places. Is it okay for one that yoing to walk aroubd on towels?

Towels should be OK for him to walk around on. I'd keep a close eye on him in a bathroom though because they will lick everything as they explore. I'd be concerned about him licking anything with residue from harsh cleaners. I suppose the answer to that is just make sure everything he may come in contact with is rinsed down pretty well.

Perhaps the computer room then. Theres a window sill he moght like to sit on. Its carpeted though and I have read thats not good for beardies. Only places for him to go would be the computer or filing cabinet. I may try that after work and post some pics if it is successful.

That sounds OK to me. They like to look out the window too. Give it a shot and let us know how it goes =)

You can also use towels/blankets to block off dangerous areas. I agree he might enjoy looking out the window.

That's a good idea. Thanks for the advice everyone
