Taming Dragon

Leoguy111 Feb 11, 2004 09:43 PM

My juvi is really skitish. When I try and pick him up he refuses to let me. Usually he will run away and when I try and force him out he will sometimes swell up. One time I thought he was going to bite me. I work a lot and don't have a whole lot of time to handle him. Will he get worse as he gets older? Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

I know the feeling, but 15 mins. a day will add up. Everynight take him out for 15-20 mins and just hold him. I was bit by mine a couple of times, now he goes to sleep nuzzling up to me most of the time. (he still puffs/hisses occasionally.)

wear a dark shirt and put him under it. he'll fall asleep and get used to you a bit.
