Handling BERD correctly is key to building trust and reducing stress. New owners should start by placing their hand in the enclosure to allow their dragon to get used to their scent. Once comfortable, gentle lifting and slow movements will help prevent startling them.
The BERD bonding method involves short, frequent handling sessions combined with positive reinforcement. Over time, BERD can recognize their owner’s voice and presence, leading to a strong bond. Always support their body fully when holding them to prevent injury or distress.
