Questions on cricket free babies growth

I have read that they grow slower then have a growth spurt. I can definitely see the growth spurt in Goldberg. A week after I got him he was 12.5 inches long and about 85 grams. Today just 3 weeks after I got him and 2 weeks after his 1st wieghing- he is 14.25 inches and weighs 145 grams!! He is about to be 6 months old. My girl-Jess hasn't been growing much. She is 10 inches and about 40 grams right now- and she is about to be 4 months old. On Feb 26th she was about 9.5 inches and around 33 grams. She seems to be growing slow though she eats her greens- some pellets and silkworms. She has actually been eating even more this week than usual. When have you noticed your beardies growth spurt start? Should this be the start of hers? Thanks for the info!

You can try supplementing the greens with t-rex BD veggie growth formula, this should help her growth. It is a good source of high quality protien in the form of isolated whey.
