THe size of my girl

[drakedragon]

so she is probably around 8 months old. if so then yes she is small for her age. my 4.5 month old is around 10.5" (would be 11.5" if she had all her tail)

I have been feeding my angel phoenix worms for the past couple weeks 2x a day with her mustard greens daily and she just had a shed a couple days ago. I have noticed that her appetite has been better and was wondering if she is only 10 inches long from nose to end of tail for a bearded dragon that is suppose to be 8 months old that is suppose to be 16 inches long if she is just growing slowly.

I have posted a picture of angel under the pictures and can anybody look at the picture and tell me what you think about her.

Wow! She really is tiny! I would have a fecal exam done to make sure she doesn't have any parasites. She really should be much bigger than that if she's getting the proper nutrition. She's very cute

 

[kayster24x1]

Would she stop eating if she had any parasites.

 

[bumblebee]

It's possible that she would not eat as well, but it's also possible that she may not show any symptoms.

She eats alot. I can give her 100 phoenix worms and she seems like she wants more.

That's good that she's eating, but if she's still not growing, I would definitely have a fecal exam done. Remember to let her eat as many phoenix worms as she wants in 10-15 minutes 2 times per day, so if she's still hungry within that time frame, let her keep eating.

In the past month I have been giving her phoenix worms from phoenix worms.com and notice a difference in her. When I got her right before Halloween i was only giving her a dozen crickets a day and gave her collard greens so and noticed her not eating much then I was noticing her not growing but she did just have a shed after a couple weeks of her eating the phoenix worms. I now feed her 2x a day with her phoenix worms and keeps her mustard greens in her cage all the time till she goes to bed. I am learning every day about Angel.

 

[bumblebee]

That's great that you're noticing a difference! Hopefully she'll start growing!

I bought Angel at Petco so not sure what kind of bearded dragon she is but I have noticed that on the sides of her she looks like she is turning orange.
