okay i have had my male beardie rex since december and i love him to death. 2 days ago my friend taylor gave me her 2 female beardies because she could no longer care for them. rex and one of the females are similar in size but the other one is quite a bit smaller. ever since ive brought the girls into the house he has been acting very strange. flaring his beard and leaving it out. bulging his eyes, and hes also just acting not like himself. he has seen the girls and had interaction with the larger one. he also keeps opening his mouth as if hes eating an invisible cricket. im so worried about him. hes on one side of the room and the girls share a tank on the other. but he sees them everyday when i take them out to play. i take him and the girls out seperately. please tell me whats going on. im worried about him. thanks :?

he just feels dominate to the girls most likely!

well basically he is acting like a male bearded dragon that is ready to breed. he sees them females and wants a piece lol unless you plan on breeding them, I would not let them in contact with each other and try to keep the females out of his sight or it will just stress him out.

I had this problem when I brought my new baby home too. I would recommend either covering up some of the cage so they can't see each other, or moving the girls or the boy to a different room so they can't see each other. It really does stress them out. I ended up having to move my adult male into another room because the baby girl wouldn't eat. It really stressed her out. I wouldn't recommend letting them "hang out" together other unless you plan on breeding.

can this change the way he acts towards me? like can this make him more aggressive?
