I confiscated two adult bearded dragons from my grandchildren that were not properly caring for them. I have had them for about 6 months and have never had bearded dragons before. They are in a 60 gallon aquarium with all of the appropriate housing, lighting etc. I have studied alot and believe they are receiving good care.
They are both females. One has become overweight and the other appears normal weight. They never fight. The large one is always first to the dish but I always provide two dishes. They always sleep together.
My question is whether or not they must be separated or will it be stressful for them to be apart. They have been together most of their lives.
I don't handle them as much as I should but I do the best I can. Do they prefer a solitary life considering the limited time I spend with them. I take care of their needs but don't provide extracurricular activities very often. I have leashes but maybe take them out once a week.
So, should I keep them together in a larger aquarium or separate them? Not to mention the expense of setting up two aquariums.
I will appreciate the groups input.
