They have almost doubled in size but not nearly as big as my girl but I got her from Pet Barn and she is almost a year old.

Boy you aren't kidding, I think ours is trying to eat us out of house and home. He is a juvenile. Crickets, worms, greens, some veggies and occasional fruit. I still need to try some dubias on him. I swear he would eat what ever we put in there. He gets his protien twice a day and greens offered every day. If the size of his craps are any measure, he may wind up big. :D

It's possible there are not beardies but Lawson dragons which are very similar to beardies just smaller. You never know what you get from a big name pet store.

Lol yes its very true, they could be a different lizard than what Pet Smart advertised lmao i wish we could of had big ole beardies but our 2 lil guys will do i reckon..till the next expo that is :D

They might have parasites. I don't know if reptiles can harbor tape worms but those nasty buggers will eat up anything your beardie eats. You really should get a fecal done!

Hello,
I have three beardies two from petsmart and one from an expo and one of mine from petsmart is experiencing the samething your having issues with. She is small and will never be a full grown bearded dragon and the cuase for this is gaut. Gaut in beardies is caused mainly from inbreeding and will stunt the growth of the bearded dragons. It can become deadly I would reccommend taking your beardies to the vet and getting this checked out.

I spoke with my vet..they are both normal healthy.."possibly" will not grow due to inbreeding like you said..oh well..i reckon we have miniature beardies for life..we love them just the same
