bearded dragons won't grow

kaidodog Jan 07, 2005 10:21 PM

I have three bearded dragons who seem to have stopped growing. 1 male and 2 females. they get uva/uvb lighting, they were in a 40gallon breeder -just moved to a 75. Heating is good and they get salad mix and crickets and wax worms. From nose tip to vent they around 7 in. w/the male being the largest. They are now 2yrs old!! any ideas??? 2 came from the same breeder - the third was someone else so I don't think it's genetic. They may have grown 2 in. in a year.
thanks

If it's not genetics, it has to be diet. Have you ever given them LIVE new born pinky mice? Can't beat it for nutritional value.
