Is this normal size?

Davidmore1 Nov 17, 2003 09:55 AM

My beardie is about 4 1/2 months old he is 13 inches long is that about normal for his age. he is eating 1/2 inch crickets. I give him salad in the morning than all the crickets he wants in the afternoon I was giving him crickets in the morning to but if I do that he won't eat his greens. Does this sound all right to you guys

Yes, that's a descent size for that age. It's a good idea to get a gram scale so you can monitor his/her weight as well. Sounds like he/she is right on track for that age. Most likely will grow quite a bit more over the next 8 months or so, and put on lots of weight. Sounds good so far . Just make sure he/she is getting properly supplemented with calcium and vit d3 as well as a multivitamin, it's very important for them at this age especially as they are growing fast in leaps and bounds. Good Luck.
