Not growing?!

[Saphira98]

I’ve had my bearded dragon for 3 months, she’s about 4 months old and she’s shed once, haven’t really seen anymore shedding except for the tail and hasn’t grown much since, she gets water and Dubia roaches and basks most the day and sleeps in a cool corner at night, two uvb bulbs and the cage is usually 75-80 and 105-113. Can anyone help and tell me why she isn’t growing? Or am I being too impatient??

Hi. Can you post a picture of her and her habitat?

Should be growing like crazy if the husbandry and lighting (basking and UV) and temperatures are right ie body weights of my gang.

will help you work out what might be causing her failure to thrive.

Is he sharing a viv ?
How often and what are you feeding him ?
Exactly what is the UVB source and how far is it from his basking spot ?
How are you measuring the temperatures ?

here is a picture of her viv. top left is one uvb bulb and you can see her sitting under it on her plant which is where she wakes up and sleeps, far back right where the wood is and the hammock is the basking area with another uvb bulb, i feed her about 5 dubia roaches everyday. I measure the temps with two of the basic yellow pet store ones with one sitting under the basking area and one in the opposite corner where she sleeps. the viv is a exo terra vivarium. hope this helps! thank you for replying!

Are you counting 5 and then feeding it to her or is she only eating 5 a day??

You should be feeding her as much as she can eat in a 15-20 min span, 2-3 times a day.
