how is your beardie around other animals

like if you have other pets apart from your bearded dragon. do they get along, would you trust your other pet(s) with your beardie.

2 of my dogs seem to really like my bearded dragon and my bearded dragon just doesnt seem at all concerned with them, even when my dogs stick their nose in her face. she even likes to lie ontop of them sometimes.

Harley absolutely hates Rosie my red tail boa. When I got rosie out on me or sitting on the couch with rosie crawling around, Harley will jump to her hammock which is in the front of the cage and flatten out on it and just poke her head high enough to keep an eye on the snake while having a dark belly and throat. Maybe one day she will get used to her. And no I wouldn't trust my red tail boa with the beardie since the boa is an eating machine, almost as much as my beardie if I let her.

First, I love the pics of your beardie and your dog, too cute!

My cat is afraid of Jace because when Jace was little, he hissed at my cat and scared them half to death. Even though my cat is scared of them, I would still never trust him with my babies because he's feral (rescued him from my barn) and has the natural hunting instinct. He tried to get my leopard gecko, Ava, once, so now he's not allowed in my rooms.... Not until they get their own, sturdier cages.

Our cats and dragons get along great.

My first dog was scared of my first beardie, but he would occasionally sneak up on her when she was sleeping to cuddle! It was the cutest thing. Then my dog passed away and a new dog came along. The new dog got a kick out of my first beardie! He was very curious and would sniff around and try to cuddle him. That beardie has since passed away and now my dog has a new beardie friend! He seems a bit more timid about this one though. He will still come up to sniff him but hasn't tried to cuddle him yet.

My cats leave Hermes well enough alone for the most part, but I wouldn't leave them alone together. Isis still has hunter instincts and her claws and I've caught her trying to chew on his tail before. Murphy doesn't seem to be bothered by the reptile but he really hates being touched by him. Hermes has tried crawling over him on numerous occassions and each time Murphy springs up and backs away like he doesn't appreciate the contact. It has lend for some funny moments to be sure. The cat flips out, then glances up at me as if to say, "Protect me! He just touched me!"

Hermes is the boss. Literally. He will just do whatever and the cats just have to get out of the way.

My husband and I have 3 yeardies; Yoshi, Aurora and Grendel. Yoshi and Grendel.
We also have 1 fancy rat, 2 guinea pigs and 1 rabbit.
Yoshi and Grendel could care less one way or other about the furry babies, but they g o crazy every time they see Aurora.
Aurora is a really curious beardie. When we got our rabbit a few weeks ago, we would catch her looking out her viv at the bunny and try to see her, and the bunny will often stand on her hind legs to look in Aurora's viv. The other day Aurroa actually went over to the cage where we keep the bunny and just sat there. However, she has expressed the dislike of our rat. One time we took the rat over to Aurora's viv to show them each other and Aurora puffed out her beard. So other than her curiosity with the bunny and dislike of the rat, she really isn't phased at all by the 2 male beardies or the guinea pigs.

I tried introducing Paco to my dog, Opal, once. Through the tank. Opal is sort of mean to other dogs and my cat so I don't want to take him out with her, I don't trust her. Plus he seemed a bit freaked out with her there, so I don't want to stress him out...

My cat Gigi doesn't even pay him any mind. He just sleeps all day. xD

My dog Kassie will kill squirrels and little animals like hat but she abousolutly loves Roxie!!!!!

Very cute stories from everyone!

As a baby, Pookie was afraid of Zim, but he quickly got used to him as he grew up. Pookie would now 'yell' at Zim if he's pacing the upstairs (going back and forth between the living room and kitchen windows) by chasing after him and head bob.

Neither Digi nor MoMo are afraid of Zim either. If my memory serves me correctly (highly doubt it, but I'll try anyway), MoMo had tried to get piggy back rides from Zim without his consent (jump off the couch onto Zim's back).

Baby Gianna was never phased of Zim either. I think she got her mama's no-fear genes.

Zim had always been great with the beardies, including tip-toeing around them when they're running on the floor.
