Sorry if this has already been posted but I’m concerned about my beardie. I bought two beardies abiut 3 weeks ago. NO THEY ARE NOT IN THE SAME ENCLOSURE. I Don’t co-habitate at all. They both are juveniles and would say they are maybe 3 months old. Bought one from PetSmart (I know some people have views on adopting from there but that’s not what this is about) the one from petsmart is doing AWESOME he has an identical enclosure to my second beardie. And he’s healthy and growing everyday he eats like a piggy too! BUT my second beardie I got from a man online who’s son had her for 2 weeks and didn’t want her. He was going to take her to a kill shelter?! So I took her in. When we brought her in she was identical in size to our male and now he is so much bigger than her. She looks like she hasn’t grown at all... and she doesn’t eat very much. I keep her lighting the same as my other beardie. With the basking side being at 100-105 degrees and the cool side around 80-85 and at night around 75-80. Like I said This is identical set up as my male who is growing and eating like crazy. I’m just wondering what else I could be missing . Or are females just slow growers?
