Hi, so I'm a little concerned about the health of my baby beardie. So he is like 4 or 4 1/2 months (the person whom I bought the beardie didn't know exactly).
-My first question is if his measures are ok for his age, he is 8.5 inches long from tip of the tail to tip of nose. His weight is 21 grams.
-Secondly, I read that babies bearded dragon usually eat like a ton 3 times a day, but mine only eats around ~10 crickets/roaches a day, 1st meal around 5, second meal around 5. Is this ok?
-Finally, I see him more fat/bloated every day, somebody said that he might be a fast growing dragon, but I just don't know. He poops every day as normal, sometimes a little sometimes a lot, always formed, never liquid or something like that. He doesn't touch his greens yet.
Today (after he ate a lot of roaches yesterday, only one big meal, like 10 in a single sitting, he didn't want to eat anymore the rest of the day) I felt him bloated like a balloon. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but just wanted to make sure by asking here because I know there are very knowledgeable people.
Here are some pics of today:
