Hey there,
So this is totally our fault, but we were fostering puppies last week and our juvenile beardie Happy (probably 5 months old or so) was neglected in terms of handling. He was well fed, hydrated, UVB and heat lamp treated, however he wasn't handled.
So tonight my son picked him up and when he went to pet his head, which we always have done, he bit him hard, caused pain (no skin break, no mark).
What can we do to help him get used to being handled again so that we don't end up with a cranky little dude?
