New Beardie!

[dragon_lady419]

Hello all,
I just bought myself a bearded dragon- 4 month old male named Bentley. He's a beautiful inland/orange fire mix. I came across this site before I bought him and have since learned ALOT! Two questions I had though-
How long until Bentley is full grown?
What's your opinion on feeding live mice/pinkies as an adult?
I look forward to learning more and uploading some pictures very soon! Thanks for your help!

mice should only be fed to a pregnant femal to help keep her weight up.

Dragons are generally considered adults at 12 months old and fully grown at about 18 months.

Live mice are a no for dragons, pinkies can be fed to an adult dragon if you really want to, but there are pros and cons to it. There is/was recently a post in the feeding forum I beleive about pinkies and adult dragons so you could check that out for more information.
