Skinny bearded dragon?

My boyfriend and I recently got 2 baby bearded dragons, and the one is growing alot while the other is still pretty skinny. length wise they are only about 1in apart but but the one just doesnt seem to be gaining any weight. They both eat about 3 times a day, 4-5 dusted crickets each time. I would just like to know if this is normal, he is super active and friendly.

Pimp is about 7 1/2in With tail and without 3 1/2in

one main question.

Are they living together?

yes they are, but the bigger one doesnt seem to be bulling him, he seems to even let the smaller one eat 1st

Living together isn't as big of a problem as feeding together.
We fed ours separately till they got bigger.
Also we fed and still feed a ton of crickets to them.

You do have a UVB on them, right?

I sure do, its pretty old tho... should i be replacing it often?

Dont quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure bulbs should be replaced every 6 montha

Be careful housing them together. I had 2 at one point, male and female. They were fine for about 2 months, until one morning I woke up and the female bit the makes tail off. From then on all he had was a stub. Awesome lizards though! If I had the time to properly maintain them, I'd love another.

Most are yearly;)

i will deffinelty go and replace it, as i used to use that bulb for another pet. Ive also been reading that worms could stunt his growth, is there any way of knowing without taking him to the vet?

I had a bulb (forgot what it was called but I can get you the name if you'd like next time I go to the shop for a rat) that had a year warrantee on it. Manufacture would replace it if it went out within that year (as long as they didn't see any damage). So that really just depends on the bulb your using.
