Will he still grow?

[ksl0588]

My Chimi is around 9 months old now and is 16" inches long. I'm just wondering if he will still grow. By the way, does anyone here have a growth chart? It seems like Chimi only eats every other day and eats around 2 subadult dubias only and no veggies at all. I have no idea why he doesnt eat as much as he did before. Im quite worried that he won't grow any more or something prevents him from eating. Any comments on this?

Hello, yeah he'll still grow. This site has a growth chart you can compare to http://www.beautifuldragons.503xtreme.com/Growth.html. My beardie started slowing down on food between 9-11 months (can't exactly remember when). Have you tried him with other live food? My beardie completely went off her crickets at about 8 months so i changed her live feeder and try to vary it often. You could try superworms / morio worms (they're softer than mealworms and can be fed to beardies over 16inches), silkworms, butterworms as treats, etc. As for the veg, i try and try but my beardie just will not eat it either At the moment my beardie is about 18inches and shedding so still growing. When they are sub adults / adults they mainly grow outwards and fill out a bit
