Kiddies   10 #25 Posted July 25, 2007 If he's puffing his chin out, I'd say he's starting to hit puberty. 5 months does seem a little young though - how certain are you of the exact age? How big is (s)he head to tail? There's not a lot you need to do extra, though like I said they need more greens in their diet when they're older and if it is a boy then keep him away from other males as they will fight.  Thanks Gecko He's started to puff his chin out but not a lot. We are not absolutely certain of his age - when we bought him he was roughly 6 weeks old, my son bought him with his birthday money. We worked the dates back to the start of February. We were measuring him every week up to 2 weeks ago when he was about 16 inches long.  We arent certain that he is a boy. I've had a look at the book I got about beardies and how you can sex them. I've had a feel at the bits that you are supposed to feel (according to my book) but I cant be certain of his sex.  I dont really want him to come into contact with any other beardies - males because like you say they can fight and females because I dont want no baby beardies lol.  I'm attaching some photos of when he was younger.  http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb228/Debz23/12042007075.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb228/Debz23/06042007048.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb228/Debz23/03052007111.jpg  Deborah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
geckoqueen   10 #26 Posted July 25, 2007 (S)he's a cuty! I wouldn't worry about beardie babies - you're not obliged to hatch the eggs. You could dispose of them or give them to the pet shop/ a breeder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
