Grouping Question
 
Can I put a 3 week old with a 3 month old?

If you want your 3 week old to be lunch, you can. Otherwise only group same size together.

And when they get older you house all of them separately-they don't want to be around other beardies. Take care Beth

Got it. I'll separate the current tank I have now and when they get older put them in separate tanks.

Ok, so I just got the 5 week old dragon (not 3 wks) and she's not that much smaller than 3 month old. I did separate them, they could see each other. What surprised me was the older one did the arm wave thing. The younger one climbed over to the bigger one so I just let them stay together for a while to see what would happen. The lights went off and now they're asleep.

Be careful with them together. They may have not reached the age to be territorial or aggressive but no one knows when this will be. They may get along today and tomorrow one will be injured or worse. If the 3 month old is that small then you need to check on him and his care. Take good care B

Yeh, I just noticed something about the 3 month old. I made a post about it (red spot on belly).

Is it a fight mark?
 
I saw your post and am unable to tell you what it could be. You better be sure that when you divide the tank that they cannot get back together. Does it look like a "fight" mark or what? B

Also...
 
For the future you should always keep your new beardie quarantined so that if the one you are bringing in has a parasite or illness it will not be transferred to your other one. Beth

No, I watched them the whole time from they were together till they fell asleep... it's definitely not a fight mark.
