Lady in white eyeing me

Shedding is normal, no pain involved but possibly an itchy feeling at times. Good thing our little buddies are equipped to deal with a little itchiness by means of their long back legs and the decor in their tank.

I also didn’t notice any changes in Foxy’s behavior during shedding. But on the forum they often write that dragons can be in a bad mood due to shedding, some become grumpy and lose their appetite. Do you think these were random coincidences?

I had Zsa Zsa in the cricket keeper I brought her home in last night. She ran around in it that day, now she is almost as long as it. It's crazy how fast they grow.

I never notice much difference with my beardies.

My dragon is eating significantly less and is basking less (for 2 - 3 days) when shedding.

Likewise I've never noticed much difference with mine either.

Mine both seem to be a little lazy and don't run around as much when they shed. Until it's coming off that is.
The lower appetite may just be due to her growing up and her size, three times a day might be quite a lot for her now.

Yeah it's crazy and we like to have them babys for ever but it's also so good to see them grow at the same time....

Yes indeed. The growing up just is kindda sad, we don't get much time with them as babies (relatively speaking) and it goes by SO fast. Personally I like having hatchlings around.

I also love them (I'm always looking at the babies in the reptile store here, espeeeecially when they got them just the day before), but honestly, I was always looking forward for my Taco to grow up.
To the time when he's big enough so hang out with me, to the time the harness fits, and so on.
I remember when I came home with Taco, 3 months, that I hoped that this lizard-like Taco will grow up to a big, healthy guy. Sounds silly as chances were super high (healthy, not neglected little guy from a responsible pet store, and I made the setup according to what is recommended here), and me not a first-time herp owner, but a first-time beardie-owner... how relieved was I when on day 2 I saw him nibbling on a plant, and when I was sure the bugs really disappeared into his stomach and not somewhere else, and then, he was growing

Oh I love seeing grow, but we get the shortest amount of time with them as hatchlings so I reccomend enjoy every single minute of it!!!

There might be a solution for this. But we'll end up needing quite a bit more space....and time....and money of course

I'm all in lol.
Unfortunately for me Zsa Zsa's face is already starting to look like the adults. Not going to have the baby face much longer

You shouldn't be upset! I think that dragons at any age are beautiful and at every age you can find something interesting.
