lol so has mine, as the thread FAT beardie, suggested lol pmsl. But yea mine is around 5 weeks old and scoffing those crix down, he has developed quite a big belly aswell. SO yea, if he is eating well and probably, getting the right UV and has the right husbandry, this is quite normal
Cheers, hope this helped

And you will find in no time at all that your beardie will grow into its belly..then grow another!
Very nice to here about fat bellies......means healthy beardies & thinking parents!!!!

Just did a measure up....... Faith is now 28.5cm & 59g she is 4.5mnths
& my Merlin at 1yr,who i had thought he stopped growing is a tiny 49cm & 555g GO THE FATTIES!!!!!!
The 3 other juvies range from 250g-407g ...i am a pleased mum!

As long as it's fed 100 crickets a day it will be fine.

As long as he is still pooing he should be good.
