Vittikins and beardies

[el_phantasmo]

Can you house a Vittikins and normal Beardy together? Just thought I could, but a split second later I thought that maybe I couldn't.

Anyone house any together currently?

Do you mean as juveniles, or as adults?

And in what size enclosure?

I have never tried this, and off the top of my head, cant think what the size difference in hatchlings and juves would be.
Although I suspect that the beardy would grow much quicker, and hence out compete the vittkins... Although I may be very mistaken.

Beardies are pretty territorial though...

Being omniverous <sp> and bigger, wouldn't the beardies end up eating the Vits?

If they were of a similar size (ie the vittikins was more towards vitticeps than henrylawsonii) then they should be fine together, but you'd still have all of the usual beardie considerations (males can fight to the death, males can overbreed / overharrass / injure / kill females, and even two females may not get along). A vittikins that's the same size as a beardie can be treated as a beardie; if it's got a lot of henrylawsonii blood in it then I wouldn't recommend keeping it with a beardie, as it would be akin to housing juvenile beardies with adults...

Cheers guys, figured as much but wanted to be sure and check it our first. Seperate housing it is then, no sense risking it.
