2 out of 3 of our beardies don't seem to be basking for long enough after eating. I put them on their basking spots but they just run off and hide, they do come out later and bask for a wee while but they don't sit there for any lenght of time.
Will they settle down and bask more when they get more used to us, and how long can this go on afore I need to worry.
Thanks in advance for any information and advice.
