Okay, so my BD is 6.5 inches from the beginning of his tail(whatever the term is) to his nose. He is around two years old, I don't know exactly because I got him from petco, this is before I knew about their problems, but I was lucky to get a healthy baby beardie. I just would like to know about how much he should weigh. I am a first time owner so I am trying to learn as much as I can to keep my George healthy. You can't be to careful with these guys!
Also, out of curiosity, around how many crickets should an adolesent be eating a day?

hi
If you measured him from tip to tip and he is only 6.5 inches long i seriuosly doubt that he is 2 years old.
A 6.5 inch long dragon is usually approx. 1 1/2 to 2 months old. A 2 year old dragon should be somewhere between 16 and 20 inches long or longer.
I got my dragon for Christmas 2006 at 5 inches long and an estimated age of 5 weeks old. She is now 2 years old and is 16 1/2 incnches long and weighs 500 grams (roughly 1 1/4 punds)
Anyway a 6.5 inch dragon should be around 20 grams.
Here is a growth chart to help you determine if your dragon's size and weight is on par.
Remember this is only a guide and individual dragons can be bigger or smaller without being less or more healthy.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
