growth rate?!?!

[Alysia Smith]

My husband (Trey Smith) and I are new to the beardie world and appreciate any possible advice. I have been trying to find info on the average growth rate and possibly a printable chart for baby beardies with no luck. Toothless Too was 7 1/2" when we got her and has grown a 1/2" in a week, Adrian was 7" when we got her and has also grow a 1/2" in almost a week, and Rocky was 5 1/4" when we got him and has grown a 1/4" since Monday....does this sound like they are growing at an ok rate as I want them to be healthy and happy?

Sounds like they are coming along just fine. They are all going to grow at different rates depending on genetics, tank conditions and eating. Babies grow pretty fast the first year and then taper off. I've posted info about Dexter and Luci's growth on the forum you van search for them, the thread was called weights and measures. I kept a journal for each of then since the day.i brought each of them home. I was more dilegent with Dexter because she was the first and she was so calm. Luci's is more sporadic because I didn't always want to corral him and try to make him sit still to be weighed.

Thank you...I'll check it out cause I would like to see and be able to look back on a growth chart to make sure they are doing okay.

Some of the larger babies from my September 12 group of baby beardies are about 6.25 inches long. I have a young female german giant who is not quite a year old and is 19 inches long.
