Hey guys, I'm glad to be a part of this group now I've owned red eared sliders and many different species of fish before but this is my first Beardie. I'm excited and nervous at the same time but I plan on doing my best! His name is Drogon... well, I think it' a he. That's what I was told at least. Lol. Anyway.. I currently have a heating rock in there for him because that's what was included in the setup. He seems to enjoy it but should I leave it on at night since I shut all the lights off for him to sleep?
Also, I know he's young so he prefers insects but I'm trying to feed him veggies as well. Currently (until I go to the grocery store later today,) I've given him a salad of green beans and carrots and it looks like he tried it but I don't think he likes them. Any easier way to find out what he likes? Should I just hand feed him some veggies to see if he likes It?
Another thing is handling him. He seems skittish at the moment and tries to get away from me. Anyway to make it easier for him to trust me more? Or could it be that we just brought him home so he's scared?
Sorry for all the questions and concerns. I just want to make sure my beardie is as happy as can be! Thanks!!
