My baby beardie is around 3 months old. I leave BSFL out for him all day in a dish where they can’t escape and I also feed crickets 2 times a day. He eats around 12-20 crickets each feeding, plus around 25-30 BSFL each day. I also give him a couple wax worms on bath days as a treat. I weighed him today (11/1) and he was 37 grams. Is this too much for his age? He has gained so much weight since I first got him around a month ago. He hasn’t gone through a full shed yet either. Just his head. But it looks like that test of his body may be starting soon.

Thanks!

That sounds pretty good to me. It's good that he's gaining weight quickly. At that age they really can eat a lot and grow very quickly so being overweight isn't usually as much of an issue as with older dragons whose systems are slowed down but they are still fed a lot. Can you post some photos of him? That will help give me an idea of his overall size/proportions.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
