When should i introduce my beardie to my pup?
i have a 2 year old bearded dragon and recently bought a german shepherd pup. i would like them to meet but at the mo the pup is chewing lots so was just gonna wait till she'd stopped teething. what does everyone think?
Answers:
Hi I have a bearded dragon who is 8 years old now and he is a great wee thing just like part of a family I also have a rottweiler dog who is 2 and I have to be honest my dog is not nasty but he tried to jump for my beardy so I just keep the 2 of the apart now it is better for the both of them.
all the best
The sooner she becomes acquainted the better it will give her more time to get used to this other pet. Although I would make sure that to begin with you keep her on a lead incase you have any incidents lol. Just let her see the dragon from a safe distance and gradually let them get closer. You will know more or less right away how theyre gonna be with each other.
Good luck,

Let the pup near the dragon but make sure you hold on to the dragon in case the pup attacks it
one nip at the dragon and she wont do it again so introduce them as soon as possible so that they can get used to each other
Apart from holding the dragon safely in your hand and letting your dog smell the dragon under careful watch, they should not mix. Your pup can kill your dragon in a second.by accident.
Personally, I think the dog should be taught that the dragon is off limits. I don't think a predator like a dog is going to be "buddies" with a lizard. You never know when a dog's prey drive will kick in and a large dog like a German Shepherd could easily kill your dragon. I'd make every effort to keep them separated as long as you have them.
you shoul have introduced them straight away.i had two jackrussell pups and a full grown ali b.h)i stayed down stairs with them to make sure they got on ok .the ali just mothered them like they were her own
This is a no brainer. Both animals should TOTALLY be kept separated from each other. Your dog will attack it, either playfully or with the intent to kill it. The lizard won't stand a chance. I can't believe you are even considering mixing the two. At first meeting each other, the puppy will be curious, but once he knows that he is the dominant one, your lizard will be killed. There is no way your lizard can defend himself against your puppy. I would not even try to let a lizard be with a cat. DON'T DO IT.
Let the dog near the dragon, keeping a firm hold of the dogs tail, so that if the dragon takes a bite you have got something to pull thedog out of its mouth with.
