Help my little girl just attacks

[Jesislas65]

So i've had my little girl Athena for 4 weeks now and I'm thinking she's about 2-3 months old. She's 8 inch and eats a lot and poops everyday. I noticed she was really skitish when I got her and would run and hide every time I came in my room. She is set up in my bedroom. But now whenever she sees my hand she attacks it and bites down hard. Ive tired the feeding her from my hand and putting a shirt of mine in her cage but nothing seems to do the trick. All of her temps are fine and she seems pretty happy. She just doesn't seem to like me. I really don't know what to do. I'm in college and this semester has been killer so I haven't been home much to work with her. I have late classes so I'm usually at school when it's her bed, time so I haven't been able to do the nighttime cuddles. This week is finals so I'm hoping after that I'll be able to work with her more. But I honestly have no idea where to go from here and she keeps biting so I don't know what to do.

Frequent short periods of interaction as tolorate by the dragon should work. If the nips are painful you can buy some gloves. The dragon should settle down. Its pretty rare for a bearded dragon to be really aggressive...so the above mentioned suggestion should work.

Pop a tasty treat into that open gob each and everytime, she'll either decide it's a great lurk and will start associating you and your hand with treats no more aggression as she'll start trusting / liking you, or she'll get so full of treats she'll clamp it shut when she sees the treat coming.

Ok I'll try both hopefully I can get her to come around. I miss my cuddle times. I had another guy Loki for 4 years but he died about 2 months ago from what the vet thinks was necrosis of the digestive system. He was the chillest guy from the time he was a baby. I'm really hopeing she'll like the cuddles.

Been my observation that beardies will pick up on your stress.

More time you can spend with her , even if she's just nearby in her tank while you are reading, studying doing assignments , it all helps re-establish a bond.
