How much should a Healthy Adult Bearded Dragon Weigh?

I ask because My Beardie is about 3 Years Old.

For the last couple months all that I have only seen him eat is One Piece of Mustard Greens and One Super Worm.

I am very concerned.

I have tried to dangle food in front of his face but he will not take it.

What should I do?

Hi there....I answered this on your post in the health section. It depends on the length of your dragon.

So Here is the Length and Weight of my 3 Beardies.

Adult Female #1 - 482 Grams - 18 Inches
Adult Female #2 - 555 Grams - 18 Inches
Adult Male (Not Eating) - 415 Grams 19.5 Inches

What do you guys think?

Are these Three Beardies a Healthy Weight or Not?

If not what Should they Weigh?

There is some leeway with all but the middle one. Dragon # 1 is decent weight, on the large/hefty side....dragon # 2 is getting on the heavy side so time to watch that she doesn't gain much more.....the male is a bit thin but not dangerously so. It seems that males will hold out for food more than females, and although they can all be picky more males seem to be so.

He ate the Horn Worms for the First Couple Days I had them but now he will not even eat Hornworms.

I now have to Force Feed Him which I feel very very bad about.

But He seems fine with it and is eating but only because I Force Feed Him Every Day.

What are your thoughts on Force Feeding?
