It doesn't even matter now, you obviously DON'T have adult size animals even though the beardie should be adults by now, and let me tell you why: because your husbandry is terrible! Do you even feed these animals vegetables? Yeah! Vegetables!! Bearded dragons need them! Fresh ones, and often! What about calcium supplements? Hey! Let me tell you a secret! If you don't have room for an animal... YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY IT! Simple as that! Erica might not be yelling at you but I am and I'm completely unremorseful about it. The animals are suffering under your "care" and unless you take our advice and get them on track in the right cages with the right food and environment, they will die because of you and your husband.
We can't even begin to solve the problem with your gecko until this is fixed! You can throw a temper tantrum, storm off, take your ball and leave but it won't change the fact that these animals are severely undernourished and stressed, they are dying slow painful deaths under your watch!
You can put females together (if you make sure they're not fighting) but you can't put males togther or they'll fight. They are territorial and why would they want a male there?
Growth hormones? That's ridiculous. Did your vet tell you that? The same one who checks them every three months and thinks they're "healthy"? :main_rolleyes: I'm sure your vet is very experienced and knowledgeable... about dogs and cats, but an exotic vet is what you need for exotic animals. Some vets, either to get your money or because they don't want to admit not knowing, will take animal patients of species or whole families that they are not familiar in. If your vet thinks that a year old + beardie who's only as big as the palm of your hand is healthy, guess what? He doesn't know what he's talking about.
