Ember is 8 months old and a hypo orange male. He is our first bearded dragon so tried to research a lot and give him the best care. We currently have him in a 36x24x18 glass enclosure. My question is, he seems really big to us considering he is only 8 months old. He is 21 inches long and 503 grams. He was mostly eating crickets, greens and occasionally phoenix worms. When he was about 6 months old he chose to eat one larger protein meal about once a day, sometimes he would skip both feed offerings in a day. We always offer twice, but if he has eaten a large protein meal for the prior offering, he will only want greens. He doesn't seem like an overeater, but should I be concerned? Is he just moving into adult size and behavior really early and this will be what he is moving forward? Or will he be a massive adult? We recently started Dubias and he loves them (still only wants one meal a day with them), I stop after 40 1 inch Dubias because I am worried he will overeat. Are Dubias like a wax worm and he can get so into them he won't eat anything else?
Also, is his enclosure too small? I am not sure we have the room for anything bigger, but if he needs it we can figure something out.
Thank you in advance!
