licking?

[bekki10]

I now have 3 beardies!! they are all around 11 weeks, minxie is the first one i got and he has alway's been a bit of a licker he alway's licked my top and hand's. Is this normal? Now i have them all together, 2 of them keep licking all over even when i pick them up, is it to mark there teritory or something? The smaller one doesn't seem to bother all he does is sit watching them. Also minxie keep's sitting on top of the other's, any idea's on that too?

Licking is normal behavior. I don't know why they do it, but I've seen both of mine lick things, including me.

Good luck with 3 beardies! There is a chance that they won't get along, so keep a good eye on them. I have heard that sitting on top of another beardie is a sign of dominance.

Licking is a way of marking there territory and familarizing themselves with their enviornment. :lol: They remember there surroundings by taste

Thery've been in together for a few day's now and seem to love each others company. Its funny because the middle sized one is the most dominant, i thought the biggest one would be. :lol:

It's not the size of the beardie, it's the attitude, LOL
