No, bearded dragons do not need a friend. While they may exhibit some social behaviors in the wild, such as living in groups or displaying territorial behavior, they are primarily solitary animals. In captivity, they can thrive and be perfectly happy without a companion. As long as their basic needs for food, shelter, and mental stimulation are met, they can lead fulfilling lives on their own. It’s important for bearded dragon owners to provide a comfortable and enriched environment for their pets, with plenty of opportunities for social interaction through handling and playtime, but having a friend is not necessary for their overall well-being.
