Yeah but it will be 100 times harder to take care of it.U would need atleast a 100 gallon tank and there will still be fighting even if oppiset gender.

Haylie Ernser DVM · Answer

Absolutely not! Do you want them to compete until one becomes dominant and the other one suffers considerably? The less dominant one will stop eating, grow slowly, be very stressed, and in extreme cases, will die. Bearded Dragons are solitary animals and do not need “company.” They prefer to be alone. The only time you can house 2 together (there will be fighting still) is if you have a Male/Female pair. If you plan on doing this, plan on buying an incubator and learning how to care for newborns, because they will breed. If you can’t afford 2 separate cages, then you can’t afford 1 for two bearded dragons. If you’re stuck on housing 2 dragons, you would need to buy a 100-200 gallon tank. This will give them a lot of room, very expensive room. Aside from the huge tank, expect to spend a ton of money on the supplies. Since there will be 2 in the tank, you will need 2 basking spots, 2 feeding areas, 2 different hiding spots, and 2 of everything else. Housing two dragons is more expensive all ways around, don’t forget about the price of feeding! Please take my advice, you’re better off getting 1 dragon or 2 in different enclosures.http://www.beautifuldragons.com/ http://www.beardeddragon.org/ http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo58/UpstateNYP…

Yes, but make sure you put enough food in the cage for two otherwise they will have a fight, oh and NEVER EVER put TWO MALES in the same cage as they will fight to the death… because of dominence.Hpope this helps and good luck with your bearded dragons.

Unless you have a really large tank, I wouldn’t. I have a female beardie that is about 18″ long and the 55 Gal tank is just big enough for her.

Haylie Ernser DVM · Answer

usualy not. only to females of nearly exact same size, and you will need a 100-200 Gallon tank. otherwise there will be fights, unwanted eggs, and health problems.I only keep one Beardie per cage, and give them plenty of space.

that’s ok yet is it suitable? interior the wild dragons run removed from one yet another the 2nd that they hatch. they are solitary animals and in elementary terms thrive whilst on my own. people rigidity them mutually and it is against each little thing that makes a dragon.

Haylie Ernser DVM · Answer

i wouldn’t recommend it but (if they are males) they would probably fight.But what all boils down to is what gender are they?

Haylie Ernser DVM · Answer

THEY MIGHT GET TO HUNGRY THEN WHAT WOULD HAPPEN OR WHAT IF THERE TO DOMINATE MALES
