Would lack of calcium stunt growth?

Hiya all, I made a post the other day about the size of my beardie - she is only 9.5'' at around 8 months old. Her diet has been mostly hornworms, phoenix worms, silk worms, butterworms mostly. Could the lack of dubia and crickets cause such a growth stunt? Thanks

Are you dusting her bugs with calcium and multivitamin? Are you using a good UVB light?

On their own dubia and crickets are not sources of calcium and the bugs you are feeding wouldn’t necessarily be a problem if properly supplemented. Hornworms and butterworms are not good staple feeders.

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
