Hi I'm Saranita and just bought a new baby beardie yesterday!
Its still too young to determine gender so I named it Rylee as a gender neutral name, for easier explanation I'll refer to it as a he.
Everything is good, when i was holding him today he was laying on my finger with his eyes closed and everything while i pet him then later today he started running up and down a plant on one side of the cage and trying to climb out. I thought he might be hungry so I gave him a few crickets and he ate then calmed down, so a few hours later I took him out to hold him, he ran quickly across my hands then stopped and was fine. BUT THEN with no warning at all he jumps out of my hands and lands 5 feet onto the floor! I put him back in his tank now. I don't know if this is normal or something I should be worried about, should I wait until hes a bit bigger to start handling him? I heard that somewhere, but other people say hold them while very young. I;m just looking for tips and advice please he has me really worried at the moment.
