First, let me say I do not have a bearded dragon. I have a pair of Painted Agamas. Their care is very similar and there is very little information on Painted Agamas. I hope you can help me with this.
I purchased a female female Painted Agama a few months ago and have had her checked by a vet. She does not have mites and no parasites. What is the best way to now introduce her to the cage with my male. He has never had a cage mate and is 4 years old. When I bought the female there was a male in her cage. She is just over a year old. She is a little smaller than him but not much. I have had them together outside the cage and they seem to get along fine. He licks her from time to time but generally doesn't mind her. Last night I put her in his cage and she started climbing around and eventually got close to him. He puffed out the bottom fold of skin under his chin and started the head bob. He bit her but not hard. There was no blood and no marks. Am I rushing things? I tried putting on some Kenny G and even a little Barry Manilow. Thoughts?
