i have three bearded dragons. i have one male, 15 inches nose to end of tail, and two females, one 13.5 inchest, and one 9.5 inches.

i know the females are too young for mating, and so i have got them separated, two females in one viv and the male in another one.

is it a good idea tom separate them from the male untill they are old enough??
when they are old enough, do i put in one female at a time, or both at the same time? (with the male)

Why are you breeding when you clearly have no experience with them...

You need to keep them all separate - the male by himself, and each female in its own vivarium.

There should NOT be such a difference in size between beardies being kept together - 4 inches is too much. The smaller one is not going to be happy.

Only when the two females are equal size should you try to keep them together.

You should wait until they are all at least 12 month old before then introducing them to the male for breeding - one at a time and then remove the female afterwards.

If you insist on keep them all in one viv, the females need to be the same size, 12 month old and the viv needs to be at least 5' X 2' X 2'.

You should keep the smaller female in its own cage and let it get to around the same size as the other but if this takes more than 6 months than dont try putting them together they will fight.
Thay must be raised together.
And breeding isn't as easy as it may seem.
You have to incubate them and have room for lots of babies.
In my opinion its not recommended you breed them.

Breeding them is an expensive undertaking!!
The incubators, the care, the worry.
And when you have 60 baby dragons at once...they'll go through nearly 1000 crix a day!!! You'd have to devote your entire day to their care.
Are you sure you really want that?
