    O yeah!

    Also the smaller might just feel intimidated and not wanting to push the boundaries.

    But like I said just watch out with the co-habitation. One could bite the other. This guys tail never did grow back, but he did recover after the incident and was a healthy beardie with a stub.

    "Lighting – bearded dragons needs both UVA and UVB rays, which help with the synthesis of vitamin D3. This helps with the calcium metabolize, which promotes the healthy growth of bones."

    " It is an absolute MUST that the UV bulbs are replaced every 6 months, as they stop producing UV rays long before they actually burn out."

    If you do some searching around you'll se that nearly every care site AND UVA/UVB manufacturing or selling page states that these bulbs greatly diminish the amount of UVB being put out after 6 months. 6-10 months is the average I'm seeing.


    As for the skinny dragon, housing two babies together, and especially feeding 2 together can cause a lot of stress and dominance issues. Especially if they both turn out to be males. Unless they are both females, you'll never be able to keep them together long term without problems. Dragons are not communal.

    They should fed insects that are no larger than the space between their eyes (on top on their head), and as many as they can possibly eat in 15 minutes, 2-3 times a day.

    For the average baby dragon this usually means anywhere from 20-40 crickets per day. Most dragons are underfed as babies.

    Their greens should be offered as their first meal of the day. A small amount of finely cut up and good tasting greens such as spring mix to get the babies eating some. Shredded carrots and some squash also taste great. As they get a little bigger they will eat more greens and hopefully will eat the good stuff if you sneak it in there. Like mustard greens, turnip greens, kale, etc. these are much higher in nutrients.

    Once they are adults they should be eating a big bowl of greens and very few insects but as babies they need a LOT of insects to grow.
