Baby Bearded

Question
I got a baby bearded dragon a few days ago. He is eating really good and exploring his cage, but when i try to hold him or even touch him, he runs away and sometimes tries to bite. Is this something normal? Will he get use to me and let me pick him up?

Answer
Hello Charlotte,

Ah, that is too bad.  Yes, it is somewhat normal, but you may have gotten one who could have been improperly handled & might be a little extra nervous.
Keep trying, & do not back down from him.  If you back down, then he will continue to think that he has won & his scary beard is spooky!  LOL  
So, if you need to, get some gloves to pick him up to keep him from biting you.  Try getting a piece of fruit or greens to put in his mouth when he decides that he want to try & bite you when his mouth is gaping open!  After that, he may decide that getting food is better than running from you after all.
Let me know how it goes.
