[Rok]

Hello
I need help

In september i buy a baby male bearded dragon the seller told me that it's the normal bearded dragon
but it wont grow he is tall 26 cm he weights 49 grams he eats normal (cricket) the tempertures has in terarium 22-35 celsium he gets calcium every second day but he wont grow now its 5-7 month old.

Normal baby leatherback. He needs a bigger vivarium most likely. If lept in a smaller viv they won't reach full growth. Need a 40 gallon breeder minimum.

he has a very big vivarium but he live in there about 1-2 months meybe needs more time

Switch him to roaches if possible, that extra goodness made mine pop in size

For a little over a year i kept Kaleeci in a 20 gal Aquarium, i recently switched her to a 40 gal in the last 6 months. She has at least doubled in size. So for me the bigger Aquarium definatly worked!

I think the vivarium is big enought maybe needs more time bearded dragon

This is interesting. I didn't realize they won't grow unless the enclosure is larger. Mushu is in a 20 gallon should I move him up to my 40 gallon breeder?

 

[Elemental Dragon Lord]

Yes you should increase your viv size and rankins are in color now. Through years of breeding they come in red and citrus but no white yet. I have a citrus rankin.

 

[Mushuandcricket]

Thanks. I don't have a Rankin at least not right now When should a baby dragon move from a 20G long to a 40 breeder?

 

[Elemental Dragon Lord]

Asap. Each dragon hits growth spurts at different times and you dont want any stunted.
