So I have one male and one female, they are in separate enclosures and I have no intention of breeding.
Previously the tanks were side by side and I had a blankie in between so they couldn't see one another.
Now after I moved the tanks are a bit apart and I thought they were set up so they couldn't see each other, apparently they can. However, it don't seem to be all bad.. Monty's appetite has increased since he could see Herculette and he is up a whopping 60 g since he started courting her. He has always had bad appetite with previous owner and even since he came to me, he increased some in size but not much, now he starts to look normal with a little pudgy tummy. Him and Herculette dances in their tanks but no stress marks.. They eat and drink fine, behave fine, except running around like little mad men. However, the other day I covered his tank cause (just the corner so he couldnt see her, not the whole tank) I took a nap and he decided to fire up his head bopping and scratch to get out of the cage. So he couldn't see Herculette anymore, when I woke up he was all black and angry... (he is a leucistic I think its called) he didn't go happy until he could see Herculette again.
From what I have heard beardies seeing each other is a lot of stress and not good for them, is that individually based or should I just cover his one end and stop them from "talking"?
