Ticklish??

[buddy]

Hey!
I've been neglecting the forum a little, i tend to only use it when buddy has any issues and I seek advice, and buddy has been very healthy!

Something strange though...

A few days ago I was giving buddy some attention. While stroking his back my sleeve brushed against the side of his chin, it seemed to really surprise him and he shook his head, and body as if it tickled.
Out of curiosity I did it purposely once again and he ran away from me and gave me the stink eye.
From then, and for around 2 days after that moment he's seemed not to trust me, he backed away from me whenever i approached, but with my girlfriend giving him affection he was totally fine!
Now he seems to have forgotten the event and trusts me in his usual way.

Was he worried that I was going to tickle him again?...could he be ticklish?

Not sure on ticklish.........but the area on the side of the face (Near the ear and side of jaw line) is "sensitive" to the touch. Mine does the same.
I love to tease her and occasionally brush over that area just to get a reaction. Wow master of stink eyes is usually the reaction.
Also mne is "ticklish / sensitive" on her back feet, she actually KICKS me if i stroke her back feet

what all places on a beardie are sensitive like that? cuz my new baby beardie seems to hate me when i touch the side if her mouth/face area

The only ones i know about from experience are the side of the face and feet. I guess they differ just as us humans do.

I would think they would seem ticklish but its probably more of a protective instinct? just guessing. I would assume they would shy away from things around their eyes or feet considering those would be vital to survival??

I was wondering why Diddy always gives me a stinky look when I touch his beard and around that area....Interesting.
