Hello,

I bought my beardie Toothless 3 months ago from Petco. She's eating crickets and meal worms i have to force feed her veggies, drinking and shedding. But doesn't look like she's growing that much. Can someone help me out? I've never own a beardie this small before

Please NO more meal worms-- shes too young for them the exoskeleton is too harsh on their stomachs --- please go over your UVB brand and bulb where in the tank is it and basking temps --- what are they and how are you taking them? NO stick ons - they are inaccurate -- you need a digital probe thermometer temps need to be 105-110 -- how big is the tank ? Please order some BSFL they are also know as nutri grubs phoenix worms and calci worms --- order medium size for now --- add them to her salads first thing in the morning do not dust them --http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html ignore the kale thing its a great staple feeder -- you can get the BSFL from here along w/ some small super worms and dubia roaches -- they are a great staple feeder www.dubiaroaches.com - you will need a bowl like this so insects/ and worms cannot get out

Feed salads rinse before serving she will get her water from them first thing in the morning w/ as many BSFL on top and 1-3 super worms -- the movement will get her to the bowl to eat her salad -- after about an hr feed her the crickets you will haft to disable them by pulling a leg or two off and or feed dubia roaches I would order small ones -- those will need to be dusted w / calcium D3 5 x per week once per feeding and vitamins w/ beta carotene 2 x per week once per feeding --- make sure your gut loading the insects she will get moisture from them as well -- she needs to stay hydrated -- you can tell by her poops -- her poop need to be dark formed and moist the urate white formed and moist -- if its chalky looking and dried out shes dehydrated
She looks good --- tiny but you want her to keep eating and that is where your basking temps and correct UVB is going to come in -- those two things are the most important thing in that tank -- it controls their over all health
