@chickengirl3025 Год назад

Lol… I followed some of these rules. I did not handle him the first day, but by the end of the second I began to hold him a bit. I increased out time each day. At two and half weeks in, he his now sleeping on my chest. I feel happy that I got a very nice dragon that bonded very quickly

@Link-gs7hh Год назад

Thanks for this, I’m so excited to get my own bearded dragon :)

@swatz22 Год назад

When i got mine a few years ago i never knew about not touching them for the 1st week. I took mine out alot even let my kids hold her and she was always chilling. Till this day shes good thriving and loves to be held. She always give me those snuggles when i have her on my shoulder

@lonin8050 Год назад

different dragons have different personalities, so yours was most likely more docile!

@meganconway3374 6 месяцев назад

I have had mine for 3 days, and he's also super chill. I have been picking him up, but I normally have him on my chest, and then I allow him to choose to stay or explore my bed. Honestly, I think I might have found a social gem because he's already running onto my hand. Last night, he was settling down for bed and I gave him some pets. He closed his eyes and melted into my rubs. I don't think my guy is stress at all by me

Hey dude, I was thinking of getting a bearded dragon, so thank you for these tips and I would love to see my bearded dragon grow, and it will be because of you and other sources to help my bearded dragon grow Overtime

@sentinelthefate Год назад

Thank you so much for your videos! I binged your videos when I got my bearded dragon! A year later... his name is George and he is literally the chillest dude I have ever seen. He has never even gotten mad at me! He loves looking out windows, exploring the living room, and climbing onto my couch! Thank you do much for helping me get my best friend!

@harmoney1691 Год назад

I touched mine as soon as i got him to get used to people,he was not stressed at all! 5 months later he loves and trusts me😁!!

@JAWSHMicklean-nk3zl Месяц назад

Same, and now he sleep on my chest no longer than an hour tho because I get antsy. It’s been 6 days in total and he is so trusting of me, eats bugs from my hands sleeps on my side of my face lol he’s so perfect!

@JAWSHMicklean-nk3zl Месяц назад

Mine was bought from Petsmart and he’s been very checked and is 100% healthy

@hayleedickinson1980 Год назад

I think I got super lucky with my bearded dragon, the pet store I got him from took really good care of him and made sure he got lots of attention. My bearded dragon was immediately very comfortable with me which I was shocked about. But I also got a juvenile because the specific store I went to won't sell them any younger

@meganconway3374 6 месяцев назад

Oops, I already broke the first rule, lol. I got my first beardie 3 days ago. I have been picking him up, then letting him make the choice to chill on me or explore my bed while I talk to him. After day 2, he already wanted to sleep on my chest and started running onto my hand. Idk if he's built differently or if I just did a good job bonding with him.

@lemonlizard1 6 месяцев назад

I still don't understand that rule. Personally, my beardie was given to me already tamed and really handleable. I gave up on the rule on day 2 or 3 & didn't notice any stress-related issues

@thejourney1360 4 месяца назад

It’s not a rule you need to follow most these people only say that to sound smart and to make it seem like they know what their talking about which they don’t Bearded dragons are perfectly fine on sand if they get enough uvb/uva The sand will past thru them A scientist did a study on where they live in the wild 90% of the substrate is quartz sand which is what repti sand is You can hold them the same day you get them as long as they are not stressed which means running from you hissing at you tail whipping etc

@dereksmyth8596 4 дня назад

That's no rule. It's a myth.

@dereksmyth8596 4 дня назад

@@thejourney1360 They shouldn't be in straight up sand. They need organic soil plus play sand. Unless you are going off of the mixture that Dr Jonathan Howard identified but playsand and organic soil is just a safer bet. You are correct though this whole video is false.

@pencilheart5568 Год назад

I had to be very hands on and intervene with my beardies on day two of their arrivals My first beardie Spock was shedding, and she shed her body suit down to her legs and it was hanging off of her, she was left neglected with coccidia and pinworm at a petstore - she sharted very offensive parasitic turd all over herself and it got trapped in her stuck shed; she panicked and ran it all across the viv trying to run away from her own shart; we had to over familiarize very early and she was handled and bathed and her shed removal assisted; but I think she definitely appreciated that over the trapped turd and dirty viv alternative 😂 My second one was just last week; naturally the first thing you do is get a sample tested; the poor bugger is riddled with pinworm and coccidia (5000 EPG + occasional occysts) and was imported from Spain to here via flight and ferry. He's also very tiny too; his third day here and already being taken to the vets and his new home in quarantine mode with his new viv furniture stripped down and viv deep cleaned daily💔😂 he opens his mouth defending his rock thinking I'm going to take it away! And I also have to give him his medication dose daily for the week - but we're getting there and it's better than prolonging illness over the settling in phase! His beard lightens to grey already and his intestines are definitely relieved of discomfort now He also scratches at the viv to wake me up in the morning for food or to come out and hang; to shart on my bed! ♥️😂

I brought my beardie without doing all my homework 😂 but I’m knowledgeable about reptiles it was my birthday present 🎁 2 myself ❤ Lord I enjoy watching your channel and your content is hella funny 😂 I have some questions on my beardie how can I reach out to you other than RU-vid 🤔 I got (little bug) bearded dragon from pet smart 😅 but I’m animal lover and excellent caregiver to them. I watch his activity for over hr before purchasing pet, watching behavioral extremely critical, if one chooses to purchase an animal from a pet store( giving advice) don’t purchase exotic animals from them My beardie is healthy and doesn’t shown any signs of illness 🤷🏽‍♀️ just play be safe 💕 My Question 🙋🏽‍♀️ lord. I’m rehousing old antique cabinetry gorgeous wood it’s 4ft x 18 inch enclosure it’s DYI is that enclosure perfect size I’m also going bioactive with this enclosure 🤔 ? My beardie has to be rehoused asap he’s living in 10 gallon 😢 I know..but it’s temp he’s living arrangements has been under 3 mos 😢 he is showing signs of glass surfing, he’s gotten a lil aggressive, he’s been very healthy, I spot clean husbandry 🧼 every 2 days ..❤

@VertexxGaming 4 месяца назад

Thanks for video, Just got new beardie. Looks like a baby maybe a total of 6" tip to tail. Question though: Can I switch him to small superworms instead of crickets. I hate dealing with crickets and trying to locate ones that hide so they dont sit in his enclosure..

@jamesski1108 8 месяцев назад

I haven't had a reptile as a pet since the early nineties. I have only had cats since then. If i do get another reptile this is probably the one I'd get.

@ChillHills 2 месяца назад

I’m planning on making a bio active enclosure. I was wondering if they don’t eat the bugs I feed them. Can I be confident that the lizard might go after the isopods or whatever bugs I keep in the soil?

@Auditing.northern.N.Y. 4 месяца назад

I'm adopting a 1yr+ bearded dragon. It's coming tonight. My buddy is playing middle man. I've never actually seen him. The guy is getting rid of it because he can't handle it. My plan is to let it chill for a week and slowly start trying to tame him. I guess he hisses when you get near him. This is going to be a challenge and a half.

We got our baby bearded dragon 2 weeks ago. Last Wednesday he started to refuse food. After 2 days I got him an appointment at the vet.. He has pen worms and was dehydrated. I've been feeding him a food paste from the vet and been dropping water on his nose to get him to drink. He is still sleeping all the time. Any tips?

@dereksmyth8596 4 дня назад

It is completely ok to hold your bearded dragon the 1st day unless it is scared. If it is not scared it is best to hold as much as possible. This info only applies if holding them stresses them out. Do not let them free roam though. Also do not assume that dark lines on their stomach indicates stress at this age. It is completely normal.

I’m getting my for free because I recently lost my pet snake and he is out exploring and my fathers friend want to give his bearded dragon away because he doesn’t think he’s taking care of him that much so he’s giving him to us. I’m not sure if I need to leave him for that weak because he’s still going to be in the same tank.

@Mommyofdragons70 Год назад

I lost my sweet boy Monday due to complications from atadenovirus. 😢 To everyone who purchases a new bearded dragon, please, please have your vet test for this virus. There is no cure and it is highly contagious. There are many different initial symptoms most common is stargazing. My poor boy from early on was always getting parasites, had coccidia, upper respiratory infections. Yes my set up is correct. Linear T5HO 10, 105-110 basking, 25-30% humidity. Come to find out in April of this year, he was aspirating food and had pneumonia and severe inflammation in his gut and a massive amount of saliva. She did a PCR test for Atadenovirus and it came back positive. He was never around other beardies except his tank mates at the pet store. I treated him with injections of antibiotics and anti-inflammatories as well as gave him supplements serapeptase, milk thistle and dandelion. Beardies with ADV have weakened immune systems so the get sick often. My boy did ok until 06/04 when the thick, sticky excessive saliva was all over his blanket when I woke him up. Vet advised me we could treat him again however with his inflamed gut, aspirating, and weakened immune system, he was just going to keep getting sick. I made the most agonizing decision of my life that Sunday. He was put to rest the next day as I was not going to let him suffer. These big chain store pet shops are only concerned about profit. They do not care where these animals come from. They do not have the knowledge to advise anyone on the proper requirements. The breeders for them are the equivalent to puppy mills. Instead of buying please consider adopting. So many need a loving home. If you do decide to buy, please buy from a respected breeder. If you already have one beardie, please have them tested for ADV prior to getting another as well as testing the new one since it is highly contagious.

I'm so sorry for your loss of such a good companion 😢 thank you for sharing your knowledge with us

@2thurow 19 дней назад

Dang i know that loss hurt*.. i just bought one today from pet smart , i bought a red bearded , they had him in the back in a tank by himself cuz they said when they had him in the tank with others on the store floor, he kept like bullying the others, he's only a little over a month old, they named him in the store "spicy boy"🤣, initially when she said she had one that is very aggressive in the back (which was spicy) i said lemme see him!! We held him he kinda bit/licked my homegirl hand and when i put my hand at the end of hers so he can crawl on to my hand he slick lookd and tryd to bite a little, but he was chill when i got him in my hand, i just kept petting him lightly and showing him attention he was fine i was like 🤨, yall just mishandling him and stressing him out in here so he feeling defensive idk why he was bullying others to the point they had to move him to the back room (only a month old😑) i said nah we making your bond today homie!! They put him in this little cup im looking like bro thats gotta be uncomfortable, got him in the car took the top off , talked to him, he then sat up looking around then jumped on to me and i just been gentle with him he was calm he didnt try to run or nothing, got him home coconut mulch, warmed up a little wash cloth type, wrapped him in it and put him in hose new home, but not before i fed the little dude 7 crickets!! I said man he was hungry they wasnt feeding him😡!! Thats why he was the way he was but man dude kept dozing off i knew he just needed sum tlc.. i have a 4yr old beared dragon so im already knowing how to handle them and the 4yr old loves me i think they understand English frfr!.. so after getting his home together, wrapped him in a warm cloth , put him in his new home, he aint move since and went right to sleep😎!... he just stared at me the whole night until i sat him in his enclosure... im slick geeked cuz his energy is like mine ... Definitely a lil firey , so i named him "🌋 ".. resembles perfectly! .. (sorry for the lengthy yall).. idk if ima be able to not touchem for a few days ineed him to know u safe now u can trust me

@imbored4189 5 месяцев назад

So quick question for y'all, if my cousin kinda scared him by acting like a hawk in front of me but not intentionally at my beardie and he got scared and a lil traumatized would that trauma carry to me? If y'all have no answer I'll run an experiment and report in a year

@dhayasanghera3215 11 месяцев назад

Sometimes bearded dragons just don't like to move around, especially if they are brumating. Although if you are worried and it has been going on longer than a week I highly recommend going to a vet to get it checked out just in case- hope that helps!

@haleystar403 6 месяцев назад

hey man, i raised my first girl after I saw her looking sad at a petstore and folded, she did wonderful and shes grown to be a healthy huge and happy dragon. just folded and did the same thing, this time this gal was a little older i'd say 2 months. my heart broke seeing her in that awful environment stuffed with far too many lizards so i got her. she has been beyond stressed these past 4 days. regularly basks, moves, has BM. but she will not eat and is looking far too skinny. i know its early but im worried and never faced this much stress with any other beardie. tank and lighting is all up to par i genuinely think shes just pissed and not adapting the best. any help is appreciated.
