Question
my male and female beardie both about 4 months are house togther he bit he tail other night and i dont no if i a'nt feeding them enough or hes getting agressive whats ur advice?

Answer
Gemma,                                                       They may or may not get along. They are too young to try to breed. Definitely while they are juveniles feed them as much as they will eat. Possibly you habitat is too small. If he decides to stay aggressive you may have to separate them. Remember if a beardie loses his tail it will not grow back. Handle him as much as possible. Don't manipulate him much just hold him comfortable and let him move around as he wishes. If the wound is bad get some wound care for reptiles from your pet shop. Good luck, Tina
