is it ok to hold our dragons after they are done eating or should we wait a while?

Dragons need to bask after they eat, the heat allows them to digest their food.

I don't really recall seeing beardies be wild after they eat, unless they got an energy boost from the crix 
Normally, they just go bask after eating. Maybe yours were running around looking for a basking spot..lol

After eating, they would be in a high alert state, indicated by the big curve of their tails. However I would recommend letting him bask for about an hour before taking him out of his cage to run around. Or, place a lamp near the floor to serve as a temporary basking spot, so he can sit there to warm up.
