I'm sorry, but this is just plain wrong; BDs DO NOT need "buddies"--ever, especially if they've lived most of their lives solitary.ladyoriza":2tazhnq6 said:It's a shame, as Malachi could use some stimulation (and a buddy, frankly) in his old age
Do bearded dragons need a buddy?

And from this site:Living Alone is Optimal
Wild bearded dragons are solitary creatures that typically go about their daily business by themselves. They don't need or crave interaction with others to be content and healthy. ... Your bearded dragon won't be lonely and upset if he doesn't have a friend, so throw that worry out the window.
My beardie needs a friend
...and many, many others.
Stimulation, OK, if it doesn't cause him undue stress, but no buddies. :wink:
