Re: beefing up the beardie?
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
Briannn.

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.

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

Re: beefing up the beardie?
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
