Running away

[ksl0588]

Hi, ive had Chimi for almost 7 months already (he's 9 months old at the moment). I find it easy to take him from his enclosure when I want to get him and play with him. However, when I place him on the floor or on my bed, he would stay still for around 3-5 minutes, and then run around after or find a place to sort of "dig in" (no idea why he keeps on doing that digging action). When I place him on my bed to play with him, it seems like he always runs away from me and I couldn't get a hold off him because he tries to wiggle away from my hand when I catch him. Ive read alot of posts about their beardies liking to be handled or even cuddled, but it seems like my Chimi doesn't want any of that. Is there anything I can do about this? Thank you

Both males and females dig, sometimes to get cooler, or burrow beneath warm sand you know? Have you tried putting something he can curl up in or a hide spot on your bed when you take him out?
