Hello, I just joined this forum because I got a bearded dragon just last week. I need some help, he is very scared from me. He hides in his cave during the day, so I take it away so he can bask on the log. When I move around in my room, he crouches down and tries to hide. I don't know how to gain his trust. He is about 3 weeks old. Please help!
I received a notice from someone that is having trouble bonding. Their baby is hiding. While I didn't experience that at first my girl is now letting me know she doesn't want to be bothered. I have found that just after I mist her that if I let her bask until she is dry she will climb on my hand. She also comes to me just before I put the dubias in her dish and will climb on me and bond that way. I have so much info from so many on here and also from the breeder I have met with in my town. Just don't give up and keep trying with your baby. My understanding is this is not unusual with little ones. My breeders babies will pretty much go to anyone because he handles them a lot but that is not always the case. Omynite just keep trying and if your not feeding him dubia roaches try that...they really love them and are much easier to keep than the cricket. Just a little new experience from a new owner. Let me know how it goes. Send us a pic of your baby.
