'Dwarfed' Bearded Dragons - Heathrow

[Ally]

These guys are free to a good home, but I WILL be checking your knowledge on caring for Bearded Dragons, so please don't be offended!

They were given to us at 8 months of age (confirmed by a reliable source) by someone who could no longer afford to feed them and hadn't managed to sell them - the eggs were bought from a friend and hatched in the hope of making a few pennies.
They were between 7cm and 9cm body length (not including tails) and they all have nipped tails and most have nipped toes too. I believe they were being kept in a 2' vivarium and I would assume not being offered enough food for growing dragons, hence the size and nips.
I have had them here now for 4 months, making them a year old. They are all still between 7cm and 9cm body length.
They eat well on supplimented insects and veg, are all handleable and appear to be in good health, hold their weight well but do appear to be very food-orientated. They need to have as much food as they can eat to prevent them from tail nipping and fighting.

If these guys don't grow any more (which I believe they won't) then they will be fine kept in a 24" to 36" vivarium. Most appear to be females, with one male - although there has been no posturing that you'd expect from a year-old dragon.

There are 5 of these dragons available, I will be happy to rehome them in groups or singly as I don't believe they would be able to breed. If they did lay eggs however, they should not be incubated.

Right, essay over... I hope you can help!

They just look like regular beardies!

I'll get some if I get a chance, but they don't look anything special.

Lol, We have one like this at my work, if you saw him compared to his brother, you'd expect him to be ALOT younger, his brother is a beast now but this little runty fella just doesnt seem to be growing

Kinda cute though, and he isnt that friendly hehe, tiny but mean XD

Short angry man syndrome

I been considering beardies for a few years now and was going to come to Waterlife this afternoon to have a look at getting some equipment. Have been doing my research online and with a friend who owns one. So, I may be able to offer a home once everything is set up. I'm 10mins from Heathrow and would always prefer to rehome any animal when I've looked for pets as I prefer this method to give them another chance.
