Baby bearded dragon weight?

[BettaFishObsessed]

I just got a baby bearded dragon four days ago from LLLReptiles. The first day he ate 5 dubia roaches, the next day none, the next day 2, yesterday 3, and today he ate 7. I measured and weighed him today and he is 4 1/2 inches and weighs 4 grams. Is this a healthy weight? I have a chart i found online that says at 1 month they should be 3-4 inches and 4-6 grams, and at 2 months they should be 5-9 inches and 8-40 grams. Is that accurate? Is my bearded dragon a healthy weight and if not what should i do about it?

I tend to focus on any critter, more the behavior than anything. Feeding regularly usually tends to sort weight things out on its own.

My baby bearded dragon hasn’t gone to the bathroom in two days, and his appetite is less that usual. Is this a sign of impaction and what should i do about it? When should i take him to the vet about it?

What is your substrate? Sand is a common cause of impaction. Go to the vet asap, you don't want it getting worse.

Hi im sorry for replying so late, thanks for trying to help, it ended up sorting itself out after i gave him a bath. his substrate is reptile carpet though so i know it wasnt that, again thank you : D

Good to hear.

If the bath improved it, I wonder if dehydration might have been the issue. Worth keeping an eye on at least.
