Heya, I recently purchased a horsfeild and I was wondering if it could live with my bearded dragon temporarily while I clean the area it is living in. etc

No...put him in a container or a box or the damn bath tub...you cannot mix the 2

I agree with Maggie. Never mix species. There are many reasons not to do this.

Absolutely don't keep them together, please! Different animals, different enclosure conditions, different diets, different diseases .

Yes. Even though mother nature makes them share food, bad weather and diseases doesn't mean we have to..

Yet, that is all done in a much bigger space than anyone provides. That's why in the wild it can work, but not in our small (compared to mother nature) enclosures.

Yes.

Yes.

But also it doesn't always work in nature. So we have to learn from nature's unpredictable nature what works and what doesn't.😊
