To get a Baby or adult?????

OK. I'm newbie when it comes to bearded dragons and what to know if I should consider getting an adult. I know that they is a lot that goes in to raising a baby and I'm more than willing to put in the time and effort but I also know that they are fragile than an adult. So I'm looking for some advice on this.
Thanks,
Amanda

Hi fellow newbie xD. I will be getting my first reptile/beardie next week!!! I am getting an baby around 3 or 4 months mainly because those are the only beardies availible around here...but I am super stoked!!! I have done my research and everything.
I think it would be a good idea to get a younger beardie to raise him/her and have an extra special bond.

Are you looking to buy or adopt? I'd say try to find a nearby shelter and see what they have available

I'm a newbie to beardies too (not to reptiles so much, we're having more than 20 snakes), and from what I already can see on my example:

At first we bought a 2 months old female, and in my opinion it's a perfect age for someone without experience. They are still young so you can "teach" them everything, but they aren't as fragile and jumpy as totally little ones.

My second was a 2 months old male, so basically the same.

And my third is a 1 month old hatchling. She's super cute, but a lot harder to bond and tame, mostly couse hatchlings are very afraid of everything, super jumpy and really fragile. With some experience from our bigger beardies I can manage her somehow, but without it I would be totally lost as to how to pick her up without hurting her etc.

So, if you want a "baby" that will already be more confident and not as fragile I really recommend you look for 2-3 months old beardies

Hi, i would defiently get a baby bearded dragon. I got a 3 month old beardie a few months ago and he was already tame in a few weeks. Also you get to watch them grow and shed often which is pretty cool! ?

Babies are going to take more time and attention. They'll need more feedings and mainly protein to start.

Mature beardies will need more veggies and less protein and not as many feedings. They are going to most likely be more used to being handled as well.

As a beginner you might want to start with a more mature beardie and graduate to a baby after. That being said any animal you adopt or rescue could have issues you don't know about, regardless of the age. Make sure you have the proper setup and have researched for a local reptile vet.

My 2 cents.

I will be getting an 1 1/2 year old dragon. The fact that he comes with a complete set up is just the icing on the cake for me.thanks for everyone's advice.
