Hello!
I got my bearded dragon about two and a half weeks ago, he’s very afraid of me whenever I go to handle him so I havent handled him practically at all, just starting slow showing him my hand and rubbing his back whenever I can. But I also haven’t taken him out to give him baths because I’m worried he’ll grow up to not trust me, but as it’s been two weeks he really needs one soon. I’ve been misting him a lot and he’s very hydrated so I wasn’t really worried about it too begin with but two weeks is long.
This is my first time with a bearded dragon so I’ve been learning as I go, I was just wondering, what did you guys do when you first got them? Did you handle them even when they were scared? I’m just very afraid he won’t trust me if I try to handle him a lot. Thanks so much!
