Hey guys, recently I noticed that 2 of my 4 baby bearded dragons are smaller than the other 2 (even though they all eat almost the same amount of bugs with calcium + veggies in the pm after the two meals (around 11AM and around 4-5PM the bug meals). I keep them together for about 30mins-1h everyday in the sunlight to bask. They are 2 1/2 months.
^ the one up above and the one in the left. The other two from the center and from the right are bigger but they don't eat as much as the skinnier ones do. They eat but let's say 50-60 bugs?! When the skinnier ones do eat around 70-75. (based on the calculations I did today before posting this, I don't know exactly the amount before but still the skinnier ones eat more)
It's kinda the same with the adults. The female will eat more than the male but she's smaller than him and skinnier.
^ female in the right
I keep the babies in a 130x90x60 viv separated in 4 parts, one part for each, with JBL ReptilSpot HaloDym 28W 2650 K for heat and ReptiSun 10.0 + ReptiGlo 2.0 for UVB. I'm using JBL MicroCalcium and the bugs I'm feeding them with are Cinerea roaches.
I think that the two skinnier ones are females (according to the size of their mother). What you all think? I can get them 3 meals a day but the previous times I tried this they didn't even approach a single bug. One more thing, the skinnier ones seem moving weird sometimes like they are dumb (one of them sometimes try climbing on the wall and fall on his/her back and stay like that for few minutes then s/he gets on his/her feet and keep moving around. Also when they are running they look a bit weird (not moving as their bigger brothers). I don't think it is MBD as I watched videos on YouTube and they dont't really move like that BUT similiar SOMETIMES.
I can take a video of them moving if it is necessary.
