Hi,

1) Like to know what is the life span of a beardie??

2) Can I put a pair of juv beardies together?? Will they fight??

3) Can I feed them Iguana Pallet Food??

4) Is a 4ft glass tank suitable for keeping a pair??

Thanks

Regards Joey

First, they live to about 8-10 years. Yes you can put to juvis to gether until they are about 10 months old. IF they are both females you can keep them tgether forever, IF they are both males you will have to separate them when they reach sexual maturity. If they are male and female they need to be separated at 10 months to avoid breeding at too young of an age. You don't want them to breed until 18 months to 2 years old. They make bearded dragon pellets that you can buy at the pet store. I wouldn't give them the iguana pellets. They may look the same but they have different ingredients. They 4 ft cage will be good enough for now definitely. But it depends on how big they get when they are grown as to how much bigger your cage needs to be. But you have a few months to determone that. Hope this helps. Terri Reed

Hi,
thanks for the advise.

May I know which type of bearded dragon pallet food can u recommend??

Thanks

Regards Joey

Well, the type I have seen looks just like the Iguana pellet container only it says Bearded Dragon Pellets. We don't use them because we have never had any luck getting our dragons to eat them. They just look at the pellets then look at us as if to say where's the crickets and greens. I'm sure Petsmart will carry them. I'm sorry I don't know the brand. It has been a really long time since we have even had any. Terri

I'd recommend Rep-cal brand pellets. My dragons actually like eating these. I tried the T-Rex brand once with no success-I think rep-cal is the most popular brand, but some dragons won't even eat this.
