He's growing so fast!!

[Novia]

I've had my new beardie Butiki for about a month now and man! He's been growing so fast! I've only measure him 3 times, all in the last 9 days and he's grown 1.5 inches just in 9 days! Is this normal??? I mean... yeah I guess it's good but holy cow! He'll be a foot long before I know it! And if he's growing so much, doesn't it mean he should shed a lot too? He's only shed two or 3 times in the past month. Man, does he eat loads of crickets and dubias though.

Sounds healthy. They all grow at different rates and it sounds like he's just got early growth spurts going. This will slow down eventually, along with his appetite and he should be fully grown by 18-24mo or so. Just try to keep up with his appetite for now =)
