Baby dragon are notorious eaters. I kept a record of my first dragon and her daily/weekly eating schedule. At the highest point in a week she ate over 1000 feeders. As long as the dragon is gaining and the poops are normal, I would not be concerned at all.
Holy moly that's a lot. Toothless went through 600 crickets and 200 roaches in two weeks so he's definitely eating good. We've got a kitchen scale coming today but we weighed him on the 2nd and he weighed roughly 55grams, up 10 grams from the week before and he's right at a foot long, maybe 13 inches.

Weigh him -- keep track and keep feeding him the way your feeding him- he should be gaining or sustaining
Okay so we got a kitchen scale and he weighs 90 grams exactly and is about 12 1/2 inches long.

I keep finding conflicting info on what their Weight range should be -- that's a good weight.?

Yes as long as hes gaining--- a good weight for a adult beardie is over/ around 300 grams -- You want his tail/ back bone getting fat - you dont want it looking real thin -- post a pic of him please

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
