What should my beardie weigh?

[Aleishahawken]

Just wondering if my boy is underweight? He's about 7 1/2 months old and weighs 196 grams. Should he be bigger? If so, what should I be doing to help him gain some weight.

Thanks!

Yeh, bit small, but if he's eating two meals of bugs per day + some salad, basking, pooing, and is active …. not a huge issue to worry about, some are bigger than others.

At 6 months old my gang were

Puff (M) was 176g
Rex (F) was 221g
Peppa (F) was 242g
Toothless (M) was 175g

Can be due to :
husbandry issues/shortcomings
and
genetics.

Hi there, not small at all but perfectly in the normal range. The fastest growers and biggest dragons do not equate to the healthiest dragons. Some dragons are a bit larger at that age, some smaller, just like growing teenagers.
