Hides?

I was wondering, Do Bearded Dragons need hides? I thought they wouldn't since they need to have UVB but some people say that if you don't use hides your Bearded dragon would get stressed.

I don't give mine hides. She never used hers so I didn't bother keeping them in the cage.

It depends on the dragon. My girl has used 'hides' when out in the house. She would lay under the couch many times at night and sleep there. In her tank, however, she just sleeps wherever. I'm sure some shyer dragons may need them but they can also learn to deal without them without overly stressing them. Dragons are very resilient.
