Infertile?

[xnikolex]

I have recently taken in a male and female beardie. Both are in pretty bad shape and severely underweight and malnourished. 37cm and about 100g each. Anyways I have rekitted out their viv with correct temps and lighting. UVB 12% arcadia and basking spot 40 degrees with cooler end about 28 degrees Celsius.
They are brother and sister (i think) and I will be separating them, but they are nearly 2 years old (so I've been told) and they havent tried to mate yet.
Is it possible that due to being malnourished they are infertile? or at least one is? I know in anorexic human adults it can happen but would possibly regain fertility would this be similar to dragons?
I have no plans to breed them and most definitely not breed them together just curious seen as they've apparently not even tried.

While they could be, it does not sound like they are full grown. I am not familiar with stunted growth if that might be the case. Once returned to health, I dont see why their reproductive systems would not be functional.

Thanks

I spoke to my vet today who said that animals have such a keen instinct it may be she knows shes not healthy enough to carry a clutch so she wont breed. She may be able to in future but she will know herself.

Don't think Id be able to do that to her though she my little girl. But clears up a query I had
