I JUST WANT THEM TO BE CALM....

[lizwithlizards89]

I feel like I'm the only with this problem...

I have two 4 month old bearded dragons and they are still wild as heck...

They constantly are jumping out of my hands and squirming... I get so jealous when I see pics on here of good baby dragons...
I'm afraid to take them too far away from the cage too.

They are only calm after I turned out their lights and I'm wrapping them up in their blankets to sleep..

Is there some kind of trick to get them to be good??
I just want a cuddler..

Thanks!

are they bothed housed toghther?
Perhaps they wont more exercise? just cover up any places they can get into and hide and let them run about for a bit!
They will calm down as thye gt older, much like `human` children lol

Yep, they are just young and will mellow with age. Try letting them run around in a safe room like bedroom or bathroom.
The pictures you see of "good" babies on here are more likely luck pictures then anything. They never hold still for long.

ohhh Thanks for the words of wisdom! I just can't wait til they grow up. One is big enough for a small leash so we have been having fun with that watching him run around

Out of the 5 we got as babys (5 weeks to 3 months) 2 were calm and 3 were very active but that went away at about 5 to 6 months. But it does help to set them up a area to let them roam freely. I set up what i called the "playpen" and stuck them in and let them run free. I set up a basking lamp so if they needed/wanted to bask they could. I only let one in their at a time. With all the exercise they calmed down a ton. GL with your little one
