Hi, I have 3 bearded dragons and i was planning to move them all together. Would a 9' long, 4' wide, and 5' tall cage be alright?

Yeah, that will fit three. But make sure there are no more than 1 male and if you have a male and females, prepare for lots of eggs and lots of baby beardies. If they are all female then thats fine.

You could throw in several more beardies in that size enclosure (hold the males)!

Definately that would be large enough - as stated above, make sure you only have one male, or all females. If you have a male in there, make sure you are monitoring for breeding and you are increasing your females calcium intake and food to help them out with egg laying.

Another thing to consider when housing multiple dragons together is to provide adrequate basking spots...with three dragons you want to have at least three different basking spots, all which get UVB light and temps of 95-100degrees...you want all the beardies to be able to have access to a good basking site at all times. You will definately have space for many basking sites in that enclosure!

When you mix the dragons, make sure to monitor closely for any signs of aggression...even females can sometimes be aggressive to each other.

Good luck!
