i got nipped at...

[jveach24]

The past few days my beardies been super grumpy. Ive had her a week and half, the first week she was fine. After this wweekend she wont let mw go near her, touch her or anything. She hasnt been eating very much as well compared to last week and this weekend. I woke up today to find her shalmost all the way shedded except for her tail and feet. I reached in to give her a bath and she opened her mouth up and then jumped up and nipped at my finger. It kind of startled me a little bit, didnt hurt, just startled.... is this normal for her to do or is it because of her shedding?

They can get pretty grumpy when shedding. Try to ignore the bad behavior and continue to handle her like normal.

She hasnt let me near her since sunday/monday. She gets scared, and runs away. I hope she's dome shedding by the time i get home from work in the morning. Does this always happen during their shed?

Yes generally though I noticed at least with my guys that they tend to be extra grumpy when there head and tail sheds
