Hi! I adopted my beardie back in April. I think he's about 5-6 months old. I'm starting to get a little worried he's too small. Up until this month, he ate 2-3 times a day until he was full. Now he eats once a day until full, but has rehydrated veggies and rehydrated bugs in his enclosure at all times. He has a variety of bugs in his diet. Crickets, Dubias, BFL, Wax Worms, and Meal Worms as a treat occasionally (they do get dusted twice a week still). I'm just hoping to get some insight into if hes underweight/not developing at the level he should be. He's very active, loves to socialize, and is on a very good sleep/wake schedule. Ill attach some pictures of when i first got him vs today!

Hello,

Personally, I think he looks pretty good, very alert & has great natural color to him.
They all seem to grow at various rates, depending on genetics, etc.
What type of UVB lighting are you using? Do you use a calcium supplementation for him
& if so, how often?
The insect amount sounds good to me, since he is still growing right now. Does he eat any
greens or other vegetation at all?

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
