Weight Question

[YoruIkari]

Hello!
I finally weighed my little guy for the first time since getting him a little over a month ago, and he’s only around 20 (almost 21) grams. I did some research, and from what I found, he seems a little underweight for a 3 to 4-month-old. For about the first two weeks, I had a hard time getting him to eat or drink much (he’s eating and drinking well now). I hope that initial lack of eating didn't stunt his growth. Should I be concerned that he's only 20 grams? I apologize ahead of time if I'm being paranoid. He's just my first beardie, and I really want to make sure he's healthy .

No I doubt this effected his growth - he will catch up but its good he is now eating like he should- long term yes it would of effected the growth - as long as he is gaining weight now that is good - a good balance diet will help him gain weight along w/ good surface basking temps and UVB those are key to his health overall
