I have a cute little guy named spike. And I’m trying to find ways to get him interested in playing and running around he has a beard or ball and a few others but doesn’t play with anything. Any suggestions?

Welcome dragons do not play- they sit and bask especially babies- he needs good surface basking temps-- 100-105 taken w/ a digital probe thermometer- a good uvb- No coils they are inadequate and a health hazzard- these things I posted are crucial - if any of these things are off he will quit eating and get sick

Ok I didn’t know I’ve read different things about some play some don’t. He eats very well and loves his big rock to bask on

Yes all is well. Just wanted to know about the ecxercise for him is all
My guy will push a ball around occasionally and snuggle with a little elephant plushie. But he's more chill and would rather sit on me and watch tv. It doesn't hurt to try playing. Some do and some don't.

Well, they love to climb, so pieces of different heights are great. I have a resin tree that he loved (not so much now that he is a big old guy, but he still sleeps on it from time to time). You can find them at petsmart. Also look in the fish section, they have log pieces of various heights.

I didn’t think of the fish section. Great idea. You can look in the bird section too. They may have some interesting branches for them to perch on. Specially if the store sells supplies for larger parrots.
