very small beardie..

Not open for further replies.
Hello I have 2 bearded dragons, the both live in separate enclousures, both enclosures are identical.
temps are fine, checked with digital thermometer.
arcadia 10 UVB, spotlamps, bathed 3 times a week, fed gutloaded and calcium dusted crickets and kale, mixed greens.
tile substrate.

but one of them is growing at a rapid rate, very healthy.
the other is very small- it still seems healthy though.
they both eat about the same amount of crickets too which is why im perplexed.. one just seems to not be growing, they are both the same age, about 4/5 months old. they are both very active and seem happy. love walking around the house.

is it normal for one to be so small? im so worried, shes just SO tiny in comparison with her sister..

any advice would be greatly appreciated

Is it possible for them to see each other? Or could something else be stressing the smaller one?
Dragons will grow at different rates, but it seems odd since their caging is identical and they are both eating well. Are they really clutch mates? Or do they have different parents?

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
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. 😔
