I am a new owner of 3 juvenile beardies ( 1 male at 8 months, 2 females at 5 and 9 months). All three are active and seemingly healthy and they are voracious eaters. The male had been attempting to mate with the elder female which i understand is very young. Until last night he was unseccessful. The last two to three days he became more aggressive and has inflicted some sores on her neck.
Several questions have aroused because of this:
Is there a medicine that i need to treat these wounds with to prevent infection?
I have read that it takes 2-3 weeks until she is ready to lay. If there was a successful copulation, How long before i need to move her to a lay box?
Thanks for any information that may help.
