How old should a bearded dragon be before it can be sold?

Answer 1

hi there
i breed beardies and we don't let them go until they are eating some veggies and eatting well on crickets which usally is around 5-6 weeks old...

Answer 2

I think the most commonly recommended age is 6 weeks and 6 inches long (they are almost always at least 6 inches by then) Personally I don't let mine go till 8 weeks. Since babies are prone to dehydration because they have not had time to store up an excess of fluids in their tails they should be exposed to as little stress as possible. Stress alone can cause dehydration so care must be taken that they are stressed as little as possible until they have time to build up an excess of fluids to be able to combat dehydration. The wait time before selling is to ensure that the baby gets that much needed unstressed time. A change of environment can be very stressful and can kill appetites for a time so you must ensure that the baby is strong enough and has enough fluid to handle the stress of a total environment change and a possible anorexic period.
