Hello, my name is Alex and I am a proud owner of two baby bearded dragons. Let me give some background information on my little beardies. I got them one week apart from your normal local pet smart. I got my first one in August. Named her Augustine (Assuming it's a she.) I got another one a week later and named him August (Once again assuming this one is a he, turns out he is) They lived together in harmony for a good two months, never once laying on top of each other, never once fighting over food, never once head bopped, they always waved back and forth to each other though. Probably twice a day. Anyways when I got them I measured them both. Augustine was 7 inches and August was 6.5 inches. A month later August turned 7 inches and Augustine was still 7. Two months later Augustine was still 7 inches, but August was now 9 inches. During the two months, Augustine started bleeding in her arm and I didn't know why I assumed it was because she fell off the branch wrong (She's very clumsy) A week later it got worse so I contacted three petsmarts and they told me try feeding live food more frequently. I did. Instead of two times a day, I did it three times. It worked for a while but then her arm got 2x worse and then I finally came on this website to get help and they told me to separate them. I did. Augustine is so much better but since August proved himself dominante he took all the food, took all the water, took all the heat so Augustine stayed in a thin side and not growing. Its been two weeks since I separated them and August is shedding once again but Augustine still remains 7 inches, but is gaining her weight back. I am feeding her multivitamins and calcium much more. She is way more active than before and seems to be happier, It just worries me how she is so thin and 2 inches smaller than August when I originally got Augustine first and she was bigger than August. Please tell me how to help get bigger quickly her arm surprisingly did not fall of, although her hand is no longer active but her arm is healing. Its a bitter sweet moment her hand is gone, its bitter because no hand, but sweet because she still has an arm. I just want her to shed and get better. I've been feeding her wax worms to gain weight, and crickets with calcium to gain weight and she has proper lighting if you were curious. Calcium helps you grow, this is odd but would a hard boiled egg help? I doubt it. Please help.
