I adopted a pair of dragons from a coworker who’s daughter was no longer interested in them. The female is 4 yrs old, male is 3 yrs old. They came together in a 30 gallon tank with all of their supplies. ? obviously this is not enough space for them so I temporarily placed them in a 40 gallon breeder tank that I had while I’m getting my 75 gallon tank emptied that had fish in it and set up for them.
Here’s the problem: the male is CONSTANTLY trying to mate the female, she’s always trying to get away from him. I’m also not able to tell if she’s eating. He is a bully most of the time. I really just plan on separating them at this point. Yesterday I found a dried yellow egg in the tank, she’s lethargic at times and like I said we never really see her eat because he pushes his way in. Do you think she’s sick? Depressed? Do you think separating them will solve this? Please help - I’m new to keeping bearded dragons and don’t want to lose this little girl! Thanks!
