Question
hi i have a 3 year old female and a 1 year old male, my male is doing fine he eats all his veggies and crickets i put in his cage but she for the past week wont eat anything, only her veggies. shes always digging in the corners of her tank and bobbing her head, my question is, is she trying to get to the male and should i put them in the tank together
Hello, She may be trying to get to the male, do not put them together until they are 18 months or older. When they become of age if you are ready to be taking care of a large amount of eggs and babies then let them mate. If not, do not put them together at all. Bearded dragons mated at a young age will usually result in genetic disorders in the babies or infertile eggs.

Expertise
I can answer every question towards the bearded dragon except for questions that deal with sickness and disease. I can answer questions on heating and UV rays, the questions pertaining to food, habitat, bedding, breeding, egg/hatchling care, nature, and attitude are my best. Last, I cannot help you with at home sickness meds, always find a vet within your area. I can answer questions regarding body language and movement. I will try to help you to the best of my ability.
Experience
I have owned 7 bearded dragons. For 6 straight years, I have had my first male and female that i have been raising. Raising my male and female have been such an experience! Breeding them was also a great experience! After my male passed, it made me realize that raising them was one of the best experiences of my life and still currently is.
Education/Credentials
I have no educational cedentials, but i have constant history of bearded dragon research.
