My bearded dragon is angry and gives the hiss

Bandit gives me hisses

[@Bitzy]

Wait! Before you comment about how I’m abusing my animal, read this! Bandit was very much spoiled and loved while she was alive. She passed away in October of 2018 due to superworm related complications. This was the only time she EVER hissed at me. I posted this video because maybe some people didn’t know that bearded dragons hiss, not because I find joy in her stress. Just because I posted ONE video of her hissing does not mean I abused her through her whole life. On another note, my current bearded dragon Buddy is over a year and a half old and extremely healthy, and he is a very happy and spoiled man. I am extremely educated on the care of bearded dragons after having to learn by myself through extremely stressful trial and error. If you have any questions on your bearded dragon please feel free to ask and I can try my best to answer or direct you to an answer! Bitzy

I’m sorry to hear that I’m glad she lived a good bearded dragon life tho

[@unfitforconsumption]

my toddler beardie is very picky and wont eat her healthy salad, we are trying worms, roaches in top but she never really eats it, what should i do

[@Bitzy]

♧♤Sssundee♤♧ there’s a couple things that could be happening here; 1) she doesn’t understand that the salad is food 2) she is picky, like you said i would try a couple different things here: you could try getting her hungry enough that she will give in and eat it. sometimes bearded dragons will refuse something like salad because they know if they wait long enough they will get bugs eventually. obviously i don’t mean to starve her though- maybe just give her only salad and if she doesn’t eat it then don’t feed her on that day, then the next day offer her the salad again! if she doesn’t eat it on day 2 then definitely give her bugs, little ones need to eat very frequently! another option is to try different kinds of leafy greens- lettuce isn’t recommended for beardies because it’s mostly water. you could try kale and collard greens if you’d like, they have a stronger smell and your beardie might be more likely to eat it because of the smell. i hope this helps! let me know if you have any other questions :)

My lil buddy is gone now too but I still try to find more information. What were the superworm complications that took Bandit?

[@aviash9019]

I’m glad you posted this! One time my beardie “squeaked” when he saw my face. I just got home from work. The minute he saw my walk in the room he started running around his enclosure while squealing. I didn’t know he was actually hissing😭😭🤣🤣🤣

Do all bearded dragons look the same. 😂 I have one!

[@a_hol]

Mine hasn't hissed at me since he was a little guy. But since he's become an adult if he gets to mad with the dragon in the mirror he might go after a toe.

[@tonyamitchell9632]

Oh gosh aren't they the cutest things ever!!!

[@cheriehinton]

I heard that they were the sweetest!!

[@Bitzy]

they absolutely are! bandit was pissed because my cats came to check her out (while i was in arms length of her of course) and she was not pleased! 99.9% of the time they are angels

[@DJZebo]

They really are the sweetest. My wife and I currently have 3 and they each have a distinct personality, but they are all sweet.

[@livinglandmine4374]

Sometimes people are infatuated with grumpy little animals, much to the animals' dismay. It's part of our nature to "hehe this thing does something when poked". Getting a reaction out of something angry when it can't cause much harm seems to be entertaining, trolling if you will.

[@PopstAhri]

_Oh piss off_ anyone who claimed years ago that this is _abuse!_ My beardie eat a big ol' pile o' greens and getting all petted and stuff and make that cute little face he made when he had a full tummy and was cozied up in my chest fat and having his chin rubbed, get picked up, get on his harness, get set down on the ground, right out in the backyard, and immediately get all poofy and black bearded and stuff. "I'M A BIG BOI! RESPECT ME! RAWR!" Those little turds can be just as bipolar as people, and I say that as a bipolar former beardie momma. Love the snot out of you one second, then be a little ball of attitude the next. _Hrmf._ Bitzy, this was adorbs. I wish you luck in your future endeavors, and am willing to believe that you spoiled that little stinker rotten, and am sure your next stinker(s) was/were spoiled rotten, too. Tis the price of being a loving parent! :3

Yes, this is cute. But if you constantly put your beardie to this state they will develop health problems due to stress. The more you know

[@sarahr890]

what happened with the superworms?? impaction?

[@Bitzy]

sorry for the late reply, i was told the super worms ate through the inside of her body. people in my replies said that’s not possible, but if she wasn’t strong enough to crush them, which was probably true since i was an under-educated beardie owner, they can survive long enough to bite and chew on the inside of them. i don’t feed live superworms to my current bearded dragon buddy, only dead ones. he is able to cut through them with his teeth but i just have a superstition about them now. you can’t go wrong by cutting the heads off the live superworms! that’s the advice i got from one of the (locally owned) pet store employees. that way there’s no possibility of anything happening

[@RDnAC]
