A bearded Dragon is the latest pet craze among pet owners. Many people are on the lookout for babies of bearded dragons. The small reptiles require more attention and care than the adult or juvenile bearded Dragons. Small bearded dragons are a favorite among reptile owners because they’re adorable and entertaining to play with. The lack of experience in caring for those baby reptiles could be life-threatening.

You should pay more attention to the first few months of the bearded Dragon’s life. This includes avoiding too much handling, reducing the size of the prey, and increasing calcium intake. Bearded dragon babies are still considered young even if they reach the age of eight weeks. They’re susceptible to anxiety and this could affect their growth and health. You should only adopt a pet that is at least 8 weeks old and give it excellent care. While adopting a baby bearded Dragon, there are many things to consider that will make him a happy pet.

Housing:

The size of the enclosure and space for ambience is not important. They will have difficulty chasing and searching for prey if the cage is too big. They will feel uncomfortable if the enclosure is too large. They will feel safer in a smaller enclosure. They do not need a large enclosure. They will feel uncomfortable if the cage is too big. A smaller enclosure will help them to feel more secure. Avoid places with high traffic and busy areas, especially when children are running around. They may be stressed by the disturbances.

Feeding:

Baby bearded dragons should be fed more frequently as their fat and protein content is higher. They should be fed two to three times a day. The size of the food, particularly insects such as crickets, is the main concern when feeding baby bearded Dragons. The right size of food should be about 1/3 the size of the hatchlings’ head. It is important to feed hatchlings small prey items as larger items can cause paralysis or even death. Small bearded Dragons also need fruits, vegetables, and greens at this time. One of the most important feeding rules for bearded dragons is to give them lots of water. You’ll spray their cage, head, and decorations until they start to lap water droplets.

Handling:

If you’re the first to try and hold them, then they will resist. But approach them slowly. Pick them up on the side, not from above. This may help reduce the risk of feeling scared. Support the body by reaching out to the bottom of their part and holding it with your other hand. Let the body feel like it is standing on its hands.
