I need opinions and expert advice to bearded dragons. I’ve had him for about 6 months now and it feels like he gets less and less friendly. Everyone I ask won’t help, but he dosent like being held or taking baths I’ve tried the shirt trick but he ignores is and sleeps elsewhere. Should I try to handle him more?! Anytime I hold him he runs and I don’t want to hurt him by holding him to firmly. Any advice would help please I’m desperate
If he doesn't like baths then I wouldn't force them. They can be stressful and not worth it unless he gets really soiled and needs to be cleaned. Have you tried hand feeding? I would sit near his enclosure and talk to him and just hang out a bit too. Then try hand feeding some treats like black soldier fly larvae or some silk worms. That may help you build a bond with him over time.
