Beardies not sure on breed, Your comments only apply if they don't get along mostly 2 males don't get on also if they vary considerably in size the larger one can dominate the other. We did a hell of a lot of research before getting these as we were going to get just 1 after talking to many people everyone had varied opinions but these 2 were together from birth so hopefully they will live in piece as we know 1 is male the other is unknown at present.

Thanks for the link too

they also bob there head aswell lol looks quite funny, my mate had 2 (1 m and 1 F) from birth they were fine till they were able to mate and started fighting we think it was also cos there was quite a big size difference but he had to seperate them. normally most beardies get along fine though obviously not 2 males though

We have one, its about 5 months old.

I am having a bit of trouble getting it to eat veg but. She loves oranges but turns her head away from brocolli, peppers, tomatoes and carrots.

I love to watch her chase the crickets, but its an expensive hobby!!

Any first hand tips would be much appreciated lads.

cabbage.. thats my BD's main green, ive got some pictures of them trying to eat a leaf about twice as big as them

Mine also love cress, apple, carrot

also mine never used to eat greens, i was told to stop feeding them crix for 2 days and just put a couple of meal worms in the salad dish so they can see it moving...

They have loved it ever since.

oh and they are completely obsessed with wax worms, i can just show them the box from the outside of the glass and they jump down and start pacing up and down the glass until they get one

I'm planning on buying some worms (of some sort) cos the smaller of the 2 dragons doesn't seem to want to attempt veg but I actually saw the larger 1 eating it yesterday. We had to make re-adjustments to the viv yesterday cos we kept putting crix in and they only had 1 or 2 of them (the crix kepting escaping under the cushion flooring). Think were going to feed them out of the tank for now so I know what they're eating - as they're only 2 months I want to know they're feeding correctly.

if you are having problems with feeding them ,you can take them out, put them in a small tub and put in a few crickets at a time ,when the eat them, put in more ,till they stop eating,dont put 2 many in at a time as this can freak them out,it is recommend they be housed separte ,but some people get away with it them together,even with 2 fermales ,one can become more dominet.a male and a female together during breeding time, the male can keep trying it on,and stress the female,the main thing is not to keep baby beardies on sand ,as they can swallow it and become impacted,and kill them,there is great care sheets on that website,that website is like tgtt.com to starlets,it is also importent to have your tempurtures spot on,i bought a infared thermo gun of ebay for 20 quid,very handy,hope this helps mate,but join that website ,top class

i actually feed my BD's using tweezers just grab the crix ass and hold infront of face....

started doing this as one of mine just ate everything and started getting much bigger than the other.

also use a feeding rock which has a little hole in it and a plug, you just fill it with crix and pull the plug out when its feeding time.
