Separating baby BD

nattylouise · Jan 17, 2017

Hi, I'm new to this & I just wanted to ask a few things. I've had my baby dragons for about 2 months now, there around 11-12 weeks. I have 2 of them but I think there boy and girl, they are both in the same viv and I've not seen a problem they've been fine together but I've noticed one of them is missing a toe? Should I go and buy another viv and separate them or shall I just leave them?

Many thanks for your help x

Hi. You definitely want to separate. Beardies are territorial and will fight.

Afternoon Natty,

As the above user stated, definitely separate them if you have not already. As convenient as it is for keepers to have multiple in one enclosure it is a great mental/physical strain on the dragons. I am unsure if the missing toe is due to housing the two together or was prior to purchasing, but that is a small example of what can happen with them together.

Thank you both so much! I am now in the process of getting a new viv, it arrives at the end of the month I know that's still a few weeks but it was the best any pet shop could do sadly, so far no more missing toes! X

Can you make a wall in the current tank temporarily. It would keep them separated for the next 2 weeks.

How do I make a wall? The heat lamp is more on the right side of the viv to the left?

Can you get a piece of cardboard?

I can get some cardboard, but as I said the heat lamp is more to the right side of the viv..

Can you buy another heat lamp? You can go to any hardware store and get a light fixture and halogen flood bulb all for about 10 to $15.
