But after checking out some posts and growth guides, it seems my dragons are falling a little short on the normal growth patterns.

Still, I feed them as much as I can, around 20 per meal. Took out veggies as of the moment, will give em back maybe after a month. My male is still 9" and the same age as above :-(
Correct temps, Megaray MVB, 101-110 basking area, 80-85 cool area (no lamp anymore, just room temp), at night it drops to around 75-80.

Fed 3 times a day, reptical without D3 everyday, in the morning. Herptivit 3 times a week, in the morning as well.
Bath everyday in the morning.
They poop everyday as well and poop looks find. There is still no place I can get a stool exam for reptiles in the Philippines :-( wonder if dog and cat clinics can do a stool exam for me since they can do it for dogs anyway. Will ask them later.

Trouble is beardies tend to grow when they're ready and at different rates. When i couldn't get spyro to eat her veggies i had got to the same point as you. Then i thought no your not going to win and just kept on trying different types of food and pretending they were alive, you know waving them around pretending they're bugs..... we do the oddest things for them... eventually she started getting interested and now eats them. But it did take me until she was about 8 months to get her eating them. So don't worry with patients they usually start liking them... they're just like little kids really.

Thanks, ok, I will try to calm down. I dont have a problem with veggies, although they don't take a lot of it, they do still eat some But I was concerned about growth, maybe veggies wont make them grow that fast at this stage so I took them out. Will try to observe the little one for awhile.

I also have a thread going about that guy here:

Hi...Yes a puppy/kitty vet can do the fecal. The only problem is that the dosages for the medications are different than for mammals. If you get an accurate weight...in grams...someone on here can give you a dosage. Also, the vet may have a handbook to give you the correct dose.

good luck

Great just called the vet now and they will do it Thanks! Too bad I missed todays poop, it was out early this morning around 630, will have to wait for tomorrows poop. After that I will get the weight and size of my dragon.

Btw, if you dont mind me asking, can you explain the numbers on your sig?

 

[K9KidsLove]

Hi...Good that you are taking a sample in.
The numbers...such as 2.3.4 means 2 males, 3 females, 4 of unknown sex

Let us know what the vet says.
Good luck

With this chart, it seems tape worms have really stunted the growth of my dragon:

We had a fecal done for Speedy a couple of months ago. It was done at a dog/cat vet. The vet was in contact with the beardie vet in Tucson that they referred us to when Miss O got sick (unfortunately we didn't get her to the vet in time). They told her what dosage to give Speedy for the pinworm eggs she had. We still need to have a followup fecal done on her.
