Haha ok so I may be super paranoid but I want her healthy. So I've had my beardie for exactly 2 weeks today and I believe she is about 7 weeks old. The first week I fed her on crickets and pellets but last Thursday I got Dubia roaches. She was 6 inches and 10 grams last Friday so so 5 days ago. And since she has been eating the dubias she has gotten noticeably bigger so I decided to give her a weigh in today just out of curiosity and she's now 7 inches and she's 22 grams!! I think it's just because she's a baby and she's going to grow fast but she's over doubled in weight and grown an inch in 5 days. She eats like crazy between 3-4 times a day and eats around 40-50 Dubia roaches and they're not the teeny tiny ones theyre smaller than the space between her eyes but still pretty nice size. She seems super healthy to be honest and she's been going to the bathroom everyday and a good consistency. Actually past 2 days she's gone twice. So am I being paranoid or should she be growing his fast because from my calculations she'll be 3 times her weight in just one week. I just don't want to over feed her.

I don't know if its possible for them to gain too much weight, but if it makes you feel better Nero practically doubled his weight after the first week I had him. I think their growth rate is probably pretty fast as they are younger and then slows down. Visually, he had quite the tummy on him for awhile, but now it seems to be leveling out. Soleil has quite the tummy on her now too, and she eats her greens better than Nero PLUS the dubia and phoenix worms. Maybe there is just less competition. :D

Forgot to add; during that "piggy period" of Nero's, he was going to the bathroom twice per day. But I was only feeding him what he would eat in 10 minutes 2x a day and then greens all day.

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!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
