Is my bearded dragon small and healthy? Please help

[Greeniebeanie]

Hi lately I’ve been comparing my bearded rag on to others and she seems ridiculously small. I bought her from my local reptile shop and she was a baby. Then when she was about 7 or 8 months old she started to Brumate and no she was not big for her age she was the opposite. And this happened until 5 months later in February when I put a stop to it as it was a health risk. I think this severely stunted her growth as she is around 14 months old and is 14inches long and is 160g. I feed her dubias and crickets daily and I try to give her veggies but she won’t eat them most of the time. Please can you tell me if she’s ok. Thank you

She looks small but healthy to me. She may remain small which is fine, but at her age she could still have another growth spurt in store. They can continue growing up until the 18-24 month range in some cases.

I noticed you don't mention feeding her any worms?

Sometimes I’ll pick up a box or two of Morios and they will last a while.

Yeah thanks I’ve got a felling she won’t be a biggie but I’ll never know until she gets much older.

I actually wanted ours to stay on the smaller side, but once we started feeding her bsfl, she grew like a weed! Maybe yours would like them also?

I would hope so. What’s bsfl?

Black soldier fly larvae aka Phoenix worms, nutrigrubs, etc.
I've ordered from Sympton a couple times and I just placed an order from calcigrubs and they were super responsive and upgraded shipping to priority for free.

Nothing they come in a dirt and eat whats in it-- just keep them moist so the dirt does not dry out

I actually have started feeding mine so I can keep them a bit longer without them turning into flies, and grow them a bit even. I just put a piece of soft fruit in every couple days.
I also keep them in a cooler with a cold pack most of the time.
