Some people have success with rooming two females together. But it is not recommended because two females can fight, too.
Are you sure they're both female? Because if they're both male, they're LIKELY to fight, and if they're male/female, the male will overbreed the female.
If you do give it a try, make sure they both have their own basking spot. Make sure they are the same size. And watch for the first sign of aggression and separate them at that point. I assume you're talking about young dragons, otherwise a 3x2 is not big enough, especially for two.
A 4x2x2 is the minimum recommended for ONE full grown beardie, so if you successfully house them together while they're young and plan to continue to do so, you'll need a bigger enclosure than that.

hi there, it makes me mad to read some of the anwsers that people have written to your question. Bearded dragons love to be in groups, usually, for example, 2 females and 1 male for breeding purposes. If you have 1 on its own, it is not recommended as they are sociable reptiles and can become hostile towards you, or another lizard if added later, however this is just experience. If you have 2 males on their own they will fight. I have 2 females which i have had for about a year and have had no problems with what so ever. As long as the 2 females are under a year old the 3ft tank will be fine, but from then on a 4ft tank will be fine as that is what i have mine in.

Bearded Dragons are not social and would do better alone. If you have two bearded dragons then you need two appropriately sized enclosures. Look up care for them before you get one.

it depends on their size if they are full grown then no they will eventually fight in a 3 foot tank its best to wait until you get a bigger tank to do that

you cant put female female or male mal because they will fight but you can put a divider in it to keep them apart.

I don't think you can't keep two beardies together unless it's a breeding pair or they'll fight.
Soz i have no more info, that's all i know.
