He/she is almost too big to fit in my hand. He is almost three months old.

don't stress yourself too much, it's kind'a hard for anything to grow too fast! you just have a happy, healthy little Dragon Master that's decided it has a great new domain to reign over and will demand lots and lots of tasty bugs for his trouble :lol: like all babies growing is a good sign, just keep doing all the right things and you'll have a fire breathing giant in no-time had my baby since the middle of march and he started at 7" and we're now over double that length! has seemed to slow down a little bit now tho but still growing strong and leaving little prezzies for me to clean up everyday :lol: :lol:

My friend said I was "power feeding" feeding him and I was concerned that maybe I was and that his bones weren't going to grow properly. But I've read on here that they won't eat if they aren't hungry. He enjoys his fresh fruits and veggies every other day and about 10 crickets 2 times a day the other days of the week.

bless ya, there are loads of views on feeding but at the end of the day no one knows better than your little master if they've eaten enough. but when they're that young you don't need to worry about greens so much as power feed them bugs on demand from what I've seen. babies will happily eat their fill of creepy crawlies 2-3 times a day anyway and just leave the veg and salad on offer if they choose to have it or not is up to them, just gutload the feeders and dust accordingly. keep an eye on your baby and so long as the body is growing more than the belly its all good, I leave a few feeders in the viv every single day so my shenlong has some foods to hunt and chase around after and he loves to come out and explore all the corners of my...sorry, his room :lol: so still gets plenty of exercise

Hi there....he looks very good + healthy. Keep up the exact routine you have, his eating veggies is a very good healthy habit that many dragon owners never give their beardie a chance to get used to, so you're doing a great job.

Great looking Dragon. Let him eat! At this age they are hungry because they are growing and growing = good. Be sure he is getting calcium and reptile vitamins.

Thanks guys! I want to make sure my little friend is healthy! He seems to be a happy little guy! I make sure to dust his crickets, his tank stays the right temperature, he's friendly when he's not shedding, now to actually figure out if he's a he

Looks + sounds like a happy + healthy dragon, good job. I can probably tell the gender....post a couple pics with his/her tail arched in the air , like how a dog's tail goes up when it's on high alert.
