Hi!
I just got my firt beardie, Salami, three days ago, and I am totally in love with her. When I bought her, I was told that she was a bit under a year old, and in her papers, it says that she's 14 months old. From the growth charts I've found online, she should have been full size, or at least close to it, by now. She only weighs 119 grams, and is 35 cm long. She seems like she is in good health, she ate and pooped right away, and tolerates handling and falls asleep on me.
Is she just a bit slow? Is there something wrong with her? The pet shop employee told me that she usually eats about four crickets a day, along with veggies. I have been feeding her as much as she wants, considering her small size. She eats around 6 crickets and 10-20 worms. I'm not sure what the type of worm is called in English unfortunately, but they're quite small. She is not interested in the veggies I offer her, but I'll keep trying new kinds.
Thank you for all replies!
