Scared Beardie HELP !!!!!

urofanatic24 May 11, 2004 11:11 AM

One of my beardies was climbing out of his cage yesterday b4 bed and i took him out and gave him a little tap on the nose and said no and today when i went to feed him i picked him up and he puffed out his beard and was whipping his tail. Then when i put him down he ran under a log and hid and wouldn't eat all but 3 worms. They always eat from my hands. What should i do and how long will he be mad for ??

never strike an animal as a method of training. I would deffinitely say your dragon is scared of you now, or at least, annoyed. It should pass in a few days but certainly, don't tap it on the nose again. If you see it on the screen, just take it down.

reread your post, and realized your dragon was climbing out of it's cage, not on the screen. If you don't want your dragon climbing out of his cage, put a lid on it so it can't climb out.
