Dominance ??

[janeann10uk]

I recently got 2 baby beardies aged 10wks
Recently every time i put locusts in, one of them jumps down and eats all of them while the other just sits on the basking rock watching ! Could this be a sign of dominance already ? Dunno what sex they are yet but they seem to get on ok so far

It could well be yes. You need to have another vivarium set-up incase they do not get along and need to be separated.

My only other suggestion would be to consider feeding them individually outside of the vivarium, that way theres no bullying and they both get their share.

It could be - does the other one eat at all? It could be that the one which sits on the rock feels intimidated by the one which eats - is there a size difference between them?

No size difference - they are from the same clutch ! They are always lying together and seem ok with each other

Feed them seperate.
