Measured this morning at 6 weeks. Still the same results. He's at 5 1/4 inches and still at 5 grams. ?? Eating like a horse, veggies and crickets.

I saw the same thing with my baby Beardie when I first got him he wasn't really getting any larger the first two weeks but by the 3rd week and him being almost 8 weeks old he's starting to grow exponentially in a week he'd almost doubled in weight from 10 to 17 Grams and he gained over an inch in length from 6 to 7 1/4 inches long. So hang tight and he'll begin to grow fatter than you can believe but I'd give it another week or two and if he's still not growing at all than I would see a vet

He gained 0.25" in length. I wouldn't worry yet. Give him a couple weeks and then he should take off.

Ok, will do. Thanks you guys!

Nice. Her weight is climbing but the curve is starting to taper off. It will be interesting to see how long it keeps climbing for.

Yeah, her weight seems okay it's continuing to rise but she hasn't grown in length since about May 6 if my memory is right. I don't know if I should be concerned. I've run down her Viv setup in other posts & everything was good. Recently changed basking light for a new bulb, just a 60w house light bulb; my powersun MVB bulb should still be strong... She has slowed down on her eating though. She eats pretty good at 6am before I got to work, has salad greens in her cage all day mixed with juvenile beardie pellets. I don't think she's eaten any pellets but I mix them in anyway. She doesn't eat very many of her crickets when I feed her at 5pm. I put her in a separate feeder tote, she has all the time she wants to eat but usually wants out after 15 minutes. She has at least 30+ crickets offered in each feeding. I sprinkle calcium 1x/day @ 5 days/wk and vitamins 1x/ day @ 2 days/wk. Maybe she's just genetically gonna be a shortie.

I need to weigh/measure Zaxxi again. I was going to do that today but I got too busy and now she's asleep.

How about Wayne? Any updates?

 

[genskiR6]

Measured Wayne this morning at 7 weeks. 5 1/2" and 7 grams.

 

[Kessed]

Thanks. Those fall right on the curve the other dragons make.

Soleil - 47g, 11" at 11.6 weeks
Nero - 67g, ~12" at 15.2 weeks (he wouldn't stay still for the measurement :lol: )

 

[JLollino]

Sorry for not updating been super busy.


Khaleesi
7 weeks - 6.5"/ 10grams
8 weeks - 7.5"/ 19 grams
9 weeks - 8"/ 29 grams
10 weeks - 9.5"/ 40 grams

OBee
8 weeks - 8"/ 12 grams
9 weeks - 8.25"/ 16 grams
10 weeks - 8.5"/ 21 grams

Khaleesi I got from petsmart she might be a week maybe 2 older. OBee I got from a breeder I know his age is exact. Also struggling with him adjusting but getting better so his growth is slow.

Gizmo's growing nicely. I measured her last night. She is so very close to 15", so I'm going to say she is. Lol. She's a whopping 248 grams.
Here she is tonight after lights out, all pancaked out on top of her cave hide.
