Hi!
So after 20 years of wanting a bearded dragon I finally got my first one on June 22, 2021! Unfortunately, the pet store wasn't sure of his age so I'm having a hard time figuring out if he is where he should be size-wise. I know that there is no hard and fast rule when it comes to size since gender, morph, genetics all impact it, but was hoping to get a bit of advice on around how old he may be as well as if he is eating enough for his age.
Overall he HATES crickets! But, he does love superworms and he's been eating around 15 of those a day. Sometimes up to 25, other times as few as 8-10. He also LOVES veggies and will nibble his salad throughout the day.
I want to make sure he is getting the correct amount of protein for his growing needs!
At the moment he is 8.5" in length and weighs 34g. I'm also attaching some images for reference!
