My partner and I got a bearded dragon about 6 weeks ago which means (if the pet store is correct) he is now 12 weeks old. When we got him he weighed 21 grams, and now he hasn't gained any more weight (he weighs up to 24 grams if he's just eaten). He does eat, just not regularly (about every other or every three days but not with any sort of regularity or routine), and does poop about as regularly. He just pooped again today, and we tried him on both soft white worms and hard meal worms but he turned his nose up to both. Should we be worried or is he okay because he is still eating even if it isn't on a schedule? He doesn't seem to be "underweight" persay either, he has mini fat pads and isn't showing bones. (And the only way we do know he is a male is because our other elder Beardie treats him very differently than he did with our female who passed away).
