hi everyone,



i also got a new beardie yesterday (Cookie Monster) at 3:00pm. he's really active, VERY alert, and likes to be held, but i took advice from previous messages in this forum and left him in the cage to get used to the place. he did walk around for a while and sat in his water bowl - but then he just kept basking for hours straight without moving. even when i put 2 crickets (to see if he'd eat, i dont want them 2 stress him out if there's more) and salad in there around 6:00pm (collard greens, a couple repcal pellets, & 1 cut up raspberry) he didn't eat. he climbed up my arm so i let him walk around for a little but i placed him back near the salad bowl. he just crawled on it and fell asleep with his crickets running around on the opposite side after having their share of the salad during his basking.



i e-mailed the breeder and she said he's just missing his brothers, sisters, and buddies - so to just keep handling him a little bit because he needs to be socialized. also to keep the temps right and him hydrated so he can digest.



should i handle him for a little bit and hand feed him? coz he's still sleeping right now (i'm about 2 turn the lights on in a few minutes) - and the crickets are still there on his basking branch. i'm worried about the lil guy he's my buddy!



thanks for the help and sorry it's so long!
