Alright so I've had my baby beardie now for about three months now. He is about 7 inches long, i would have to say he age is around 4 1/2 months because he was TINY when I got him. But what I do is I feed him in a separate Tupperware container so he doesn't have to chase his crickets all around his enclosure. He eats like a beast, and he is just beginning to munch down on some veggies (but he has a veggie bowl in his tank).
But what I am writing about is every time I try to get him out to feed him, he takes off running, and when I get near him he opens his mouth, hisses and he puffs out his beard as much as he can. He has even bitten me twice!! Every now and then I take him out of his tank and let him run around on my living room floor and on me. He is fine then and very active and curious, but when I try to get him out, he turns into a little you-know-what! I've tried giving him some space, that didn't help. I tried more frequent handling, that didn't help either. I don't know what to do please help.
