Hello, I have bearded dragon that I got on Feb 4th (11 months now) and he was the size of my pinky, he has grown to 14 1/2 inches and is 221 grams .
I’m worried about if he’s small for his age ? and want to know if I accidentally stunted his growth.
I started feeding him 100 pinheads within 3-4 days as well as kale, and strawberry’s since about 2-3 months I was giving him about 70 medium crickets every week from about 3-4 months till 10 months, bc I have been out of a job and buying them has been a hassle without transportation. I’m looking online to order a lot and keep them in a tub so I can supply him with enough food for now on. I never fed him until he stopped eating bc I couldn’t supply him with that . It makes me feel like a terrible owner but he is active and happy .

That's fine, it's a bit on the small side but he is still going to grow for another 8-10 months. Although he could have done with more protein it's not extreme at all, and the biggest dragons don't always end up the healthiest.

Can you post a few pics of him ? Here's how :

70 crickets a week? Wow!
Most dragons at three months old eat that many in less than two days.
He may not reach full potential but he will keep growing.

I disagree, they don't need to be power fed to reach a good size or to be healthy. The goal is to have a healthy dragon and their growth rate can vary. No need to worry.

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!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
