8 Month Bearded Dragon Biting

Not open for further replies.
Okay. So, my adult bearded dragons Lizzie and Jax mated last spring and well, had eggs. We incubated them properly and 13 of them hatched, to my delight. It has been about 8 months and 6 of them have been given away. However, 7 of them remain. They are all in a large and tall inclosure (glass with screen top) and are given proper food and water, yes. There are two reasonably sized water bowls on the both sides, there is a small bowl of veggies or pellets, and they are given 1 medium superworm each almost every day. So, you would assume they would be well, right? No. They bite and nip each other. I know that this is normal behavior. I'm not a rookie with lizards. However, do you have any suggestions to help with how to help prevent it and treat it? Thanks.

It is indeed normal behavior, and will most likely end up with one of them killing the other if they are not separated. Please do so, even if it's just a temporary piece of cardboard taped up so each dragon gets half the viv. until a more permanent solution can be found. I know it's an expense to double your setup, but it's nothing compared to vet bills.

Thanks for all your feedback. However, I already know that you should separate bearded dragon babies. However, put simply, I cannot. I would, if I could. But simply put, I'm just a kid trying to keep up with her little babies. My parents are reluctant. We have neither the space nor the money to buy several large tanks, just to have the the juveniles given away soon. I'm sorry. Soon, they will be separate, as we will only be keeping 2. Thanks for all your help anyways. Do any of you have any remedies other than honey? Thanks!

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
