How old is a bearded dragon when it is 6 and a half inches long? Also, I tried feeding my beardie for the first time and he/she just kept running away, is that normal and why? :?: :?

Its nearly impossible to tell the age by the length of a dragon. Too many factors play into how large/small they become. It is probable that he/she is only a couple months old, though.

It's normal for a dragon to refuse food due to relocation stress. Give him a few days to settle in, but continue to offer food.

i had the eye problem with my beardie too. it could be that brinx doesn't know you enough. in 3-4 days after he is all settled in try holding him. if he runs away try again later. after he becomes use to you he should have his eyes open more. another factor of this is possiblie a reaction to relocation stress. again just be patient with him. i also learned that it might be because Uvb. what is the wattage on that.
