Hey guys just wanted to introduce my newly acquired dragon, Bubba!
He is 100% het hypo and just beautiful imo.

Ive had him for about 2 weeks now and he still isnt eating with a normal consistency. He will eat like 2 crickets in front of me and then just stop when he notices that Im staring at him lol. Ive never seen him eat his salad but he has touched it. I have also found small poop on 3 occasions now so I know he has to be eating something.

When I take him out he is generally very calm but will sometimes try to run for a little bit and is very aware of my movements..

This is the smallest beardie I have ever had and I know they are a little skittish when they are young but any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
David

Yes, I too have suffered from this. He is still settling in. It can take more than two week sometimes. If you bought him from a breeder or shop, sometimes they don't handle them so they are very shy when you want to handle him. He will be just nervous of you and his surroundings. Check the temp at hot end are around 100-110. This can cause them to behave oddly. :) nice Beardie BTW;)

He is a beautiful dragon. I hope he keeps his colors. Don't worry about him. It will take time for him to adjust to his new surroundings. I have had Spike for over two months and he is still skitterish but I am patient and very gentle with him. I think that some adjust faster than others....I just have a slow adjuster! Good luck with him. This is a great site for questions and comments.
