[QUOTE="arobinson2005, post: 2017414, member: 117649"] I’ve tried looking up how to fix this, but i haven’t found any answers and i’m getting really worried. i’ve had my bearded dragon since she was around 3 weeks old and me and her have an amazing bond. she trusts me more than anyone and will tolerate almost anything from me(like cutting her nails, bathing, etc.) but recently my mental health has declined really badly and i’ve gotten really busy with life, im about to graduate and life is becoming a lot more adult like and i haven’t been able to handle her often at all. it was a long time since i handled her and i’ve been trying to handle her more but she won’t let me pick her up. unfortunately i don’t have the money for an actual terrarium that’s 50gal and opens in the front, so she has a 50gal tank that opens from the top, but thats never bothered her, she knows me. i think maybe she’s associating me with food, because that’s one thing that i have kept up with, i always feed my animals. so i tried reading on how to make her stop that, and everyone says to stop hand feeding, to feed with tongs or leave the food in there, but that’s all i do. i don’t hand feed her, i take her food bowl out of her enclosure, put the food in there, and put it back in. so i don’t know how to fix this problem but it really hurts that i can’t hold her because i really am attached to her and i can see that it’s stressing her out never being handled because she has such a strong connection to me but i don’t know how to help her stop associating me with food, i feel even worse because it’s my fault. if anyone can help pls pls do [/QUOTE]
