Beardie won't grow?

[Kidster96]

My 8... ish... month old bearded dragon is currently at 13 inches which is a bit small. He doesn't seem to grow to much. I know that every bearded dragon will grow at their own rate but he just grows really really slowly. Anything I put into his cage he'll eat, I feed him 10-20 large crickets a day with collard greens. Should I be worried at all?

Do you have a uvb bulb? Which kind?

How often does he poo?

Do you supplement with vitamins/calcium?

At the moment the all horrible Repti Glo 10.0 It was all my petstore was carrying and my mom is hard to convince to order online, she still thinks the internet is a bad place filled with people who want to steal all your money, hopefully next month I can get a MVB or Repti Sun 10.

He poos everyday, today he decided to go on my hand.

Yup, tetrafaurma or something like that.

The uvb could be the source of your problem...

And i've never heard of that brand. Is it possible you could show me a link to its nutrition facts?

So are you using vitamins at all? Is the UVB bulb a coil one? It might be a combination of UVB and vitamin needs. They need calcium and a multivitamin.

Yes I use vitamins and no it's not a coil.
