Baby Beardie Housing

Hey I was wondering if baby beardies could be kept in large enclosures as long as they were fed in smaller ones or do they have to be worked up?
Thanks In Advance Kasper

"thanks in advance" sounds like someone i know kappa....

My guess would be that they would feel threatned i think they would prefer smaller spaces......Giving them that much room is pointless they end up all stacked on top of eat other anyways......IMO

Hmmmmmm my bearded dragaon had no problem with a HUGE cage, he liked it, he loves to run around and stuff, and when i get the criket box he knows its feeding time!!! he jumps and everything, Everytime he finishs one then i throw another, or else the crikets will run, and hide under a log or something. I would say get a big tank. It also saves you money

I keep them in large cages right from the start too. As long as you use a feeding enclosure to keep crickets from running too far, there's no problem. I put the prey inside a plastic shoebox and put that inside the cage. Baby jumps in, but crix can't jump out.

And if babies do nothing but stack on top of each other, the basking temp is usually way too low. Babies should be running around like little idiots if they are healthy and happy.
