2 Bearded Babies

[steph2011]

Me and a friend got baby bearded dragon babies at the same time. She was supposed to be getting a setup and everything lined up for hers but it fell through. So now it looks like I have two bearded dragons. I was wondering if you can house two of them together or if they need two separate habitats. I will get them whatever they need. Just wanted some opinions. Thank you for any help.

I'm CERTAINLY no expert, but I think it's a case of, if they're still tiny babies and have plenty of space, you're good, but sub adults and adult will NEED separate cages.

When they're small, they bite everything that moves. I have seen and currently own a dragon with half of his tail missing. There are also many dragons with their toes missing. Housing many together is something pet shops and breeders do because of the limitations of providing hot spots and UV to many separate enclosures. If you're keeping both, you need separate enclosures. As babies, they will bite each other and remove tails and toes and even whole limbs. As adults, they will fight and compete for food and stress each other, sometimes to death.


TL;DR

They need separate enclosures.

As long as they are the same size, they are communal animals BUT they can fight if one is too pushy.
