beefing up the beardie?

i have an 8 month old beardie and all of her temps are correct but she looks a little underweight and wanted to know if there is any way of fattin her up?

Without seeing pics and knowing the size of him. I wouldn't be able to suggest it, But some feed them pinky's to beef them up

she to little for pinkies, she about 8 inches long. could i cut up some superworms and serve them in her green mix

waht are you feeding her? like what is her current diet? at 8 months she should be WAYYY bigger than 8 inches

at eight months she should be eating about 80+ percent protein and 20 percent veggies

Wax worms are high in fat but don't feed them all the time because they will get to where they only want wax worms.

she eats about 30 crix a day, but her temps are fine, husbandtry is spot on, no diseases, i did get her from an expo, but vet says clean bill, so im clueless

What is the basking temperature? What size enclosure?

Try feeding her two times a day. My beardies ate around 90 crickets a day until they were over a year.

Being only 8 inches I would be setting out a salad in the morning and then feeding live 3 times a day making sure she had at least 2 hours basking before lights out. Just my opinion. My biggest eater eats 120+ crickets a day much less when dubias are present though. lol

her temps are 110, she has a 40 breeder, and eats really about 50 during a days worth feeding, hates veggiess from the bowl, only eats from hand, i've been mixiing some waxies in with her saled and she been eating it, so im guessing mabye she had a disease or somthing and after i got her I kept her husbandry fine and it got better cause she seems to be getting bigger over the past week or so, i was just wondering if there was sonthing I could do to get her even better

What UVB do you use, and are you dusting? Id take her to the Vet, Ive had 3 month old beardies bigger than 8 inches.

in the above post i stated i took her to the vet, and everything checked out. i've been using a reptisun but changedt to a MVB, solarglo, thats the only one i could afford, she's up to 11 inches in just the past 2 weeks, so im confused, i

Didnt you say you had a Compact bulb Reptisun? If you did that is why.

PS. Sorry if it wasnt, I just remember someone telling me they had a compact bulb and recently changed it.

nope a MVB bulb, she is doing well, now, so im confused but happy on her weight gain

Well you could have my problem, I was given a beardie by a pet store and she is 5 and 1/4inches. And she's been that size since we got her in November and she had been at the pet store at least 2 months. So she is at least 4 months old and not growing. But my goodness she is a pig. She has an appt with a zoo herp vet next month, to see if we can figure out what is going on.

I'm so very happy that your girl is growing! :D

i can afford the vet, but it would be tight, so really im just happy she is doing well and if this starts back up again, i will be taking her to the vet too.
