ok im getting worried again..i dont know what sex mine are as there only 8 weeks...am i gonna have problems when my 3 babys grow up and should i offload one just now????????????i was just getting relaxed now im stressed again..lol

Once they reach 5-6 months you will have to change this around. They may only co-habit iof they are all female, and you will need a BIG cage for 3.

If you read my reply to the post below you'll get more info.

Basically multiple males will fight for dominance, whilst male/female combinations will breed endlessly. Furthermore, if you bopught those three at the same time from the same place, they are probably clutches mates, and REALLY dont want borthers & sisters mating. Just remember dragons are sexually mature at 5 months.

1.0 Bearded Dragon (Fuego)
2.1 Roommates (require more cleaning up after than the dragon)

You've got some time before you have to worry about it, they're fine together for now. Each dragon should have it's own cage as adults. You just had so much fun building one, might as well get started on another.

so i need to build another 2 cages???ive seen loads of beardys kept in pairs.....i have 3 now by accident...was only supposed to be 2..i read on websites there better in pairs or i would have just bought one..grrr..i hate all these websites that mislead us...i cant cope with making another viv..and im pretty sure my girlfriend cant either..she said i had her thinking about taking valium during my cage building exploits and bloody tempreture testing..my vivs are usaully crap looking but this viv was built for going in our sitting room and the beardys are the kids that why i wanted everytjhing right..didnt want them getting sick and upsetting them...i though beardys only mated if you cooled them down etc over winter like snakes??????????im off for a valium and a scotch...please tell me you guys are just being very stringent on the rules..and 2 will be ok..lmao

Valium and scotch huh, good combo better take another one before you read this lol. Beardies are not social animals and there mere presence will stress each other out unless there is an enormous amount of room. Sometimes you can get away with housing 2 females together, but even these will fight sometimes. 2 males together is just asking for trouble, someone's going to get hurt. Male and female together will breed (whether they are brumated or not) and breed constantly at very early ages. There are some things that are recomended that err on the side of caution, this is not one of them. Now that you have the one viv done, at least you know what to avoid on the next one, maybe it'll be less stressful, then again there's always more valium.
