Growth Problem

[mrsmoby]

Hi. I have a beardie of 5.5months old that isnt very big. He's about 9inches long and weighs 75g. He has grown since we got him at about 4-6weeks of age. He eats about 4 crickets or locusts a day but thats all although we do offer more, he also has his veg daily. he seems happy runs about his tank, basks etc but I'm concerned at his size. Any advice would be appreciated

sorry for the 20??? but it may help us help you.
as for size of crix 4-5 is not much but if they are big it may equate to 15-20 appropriate sized.
