Hello!
Jed and I are new to the forum. I got him 2 weeks ago this Saturday from Petco! For the first couple days he was super chill, didn't mind me handling him at all, and consistently let me feed him. He even slept on top of his log the first night. Then about 5 days into having him he hissed at me when I took him outside and jumped out of my hand. Ever since then he seems to feel threatened when I take him out of his enclosure. He doesn't let me hold him long before he wants to escape, puffs out his beard, and occasionally hisses at me. I also introduced him to my dog, I'm not sure whether that was a good idea but she has had zero contact with him since. He eats quite a bit every day, I feed him a blueberry, lettuce, and fluckers buffet blend. I have some dried out crickets but he doesn't seem to like them. I also heard that spritzing bearded dragons with water is a good way to keep him hydrated, but then I heard some negative things about it so I stopped doing it. I take him out of his enclosure about twice a day and let him roam around my room or hold him. Anyways I'd love some advice on how to get him to warm up to me. Thanks!
