new beardie/ a few questions

[eddsmummy]

hi, im amie, im new to this and i love it already
i have a new beardie and ive named him eddie, hes a male but how do you know the difference between a male and female? i just would like to make sure that the nice man in the shop knew what he was taling about.

also he is not eating properly, i put 3 crickets in last night and there was still there this morning so ive now removed them as i heard thats whats best to do as they can bite him when hes asleep???

i let him out last night to get used to him and to have a run around in my living room, but all he was intersted in doing was trying to get under the sofa, as i didnt want to loose him with being so small and new to us all, i kept picking him up and putting him back in the middle of the room. he started acting very strange by lifting his tail, curled right up and then lay flat out (head, stomach flat to the floor), is this normal, was i upsetting him? would he of bite me if i kept doing it???

thank you to all that reply, i just want the best for eddie and us and want us to get on great with me and my children x

hi and congratulation on the new beardie.here are a few questions how long have had him,what is his size,what size enclosure is he in, what is the temperature on his basking spot and what subterrain do you have. you might want to get a separate container to feed him in. you might of stressed him a little bit when you moved him. both of my dragons so straight for what ever i don't want them to.
