I received a Beardie about a month ago. The previous owner told me that he was about 8 months old and also explained to me how to take care of him. The way he explained the care to me was to feed him 20 crickets a week and powder calcium on them once a month. He also fed him a gel food every other night. I now know the right things to do and feed him an average of 20 crix a day and i powder calcium about 5 times a week. I still feed him the gel and I am still working on him eating his greens since he has never been offered them before. I am afraid that he was malnourished and it stunted his growth or something.
I just measured him and he is 10 inches long. Do we think that his growth was stunted or that the previous owner was wrong about the age (even though he said it with certainty)? Any advice?
