I used a RepCal calcium/vitamin powder mix. Daily for young animals, weekly for adults. I fed kale, carrot tops, collard greens, dandelions, flowers, corn, peas, chard, cucumber and probably a couple of things I missed.

Wow thats a big boy. I wouldn't be concerned in the least. He's already bigger than my 9 year old beardie 
I rarely remember to dust his food. I'm pretty lazy and forget things when it comes to Spike since I've had him for such a long time. When he was younger I would dust his food with calcium. Now he gets a monthly live adult feeder mouse instead. Seems to keep him heathy ^_^

Seems to keep him heathy ^_^ My beardy is staying extremely small He is roughly 6' long and stopped growing (hasn't shed in a couple weeks) I feed him regularly on crickets/mealworms/wax worms/veggies/pellets btu he just doesn't grow. Is there something wrong with him? (HE lives in a 30 gallon tank for the time being with another small beardy. Temps are stable at around 77 on the cool end and 115 on the basking spot, UV is on 24 hours, water changed every 2 days). I just can't imagine what's wrong with him (it's not parasites or my other beardy would be just as small)

I just can't imagine what's wrong with him (it's not parasites or my other beardy would be just as small)Some beardys dont trive if housed with other babys, even if they dont bully them or are larger than them. Just the fact that they see another animal may stress them. Also if he´s stressed by the presence of another animal may lead him to become hill and parasites are a prime candidate. In another words, both of your beardys may be infected with parasites but only one is felling them at full strength because its himune sistem is depressed by stress (other wise he´ll be able to figth back). What to do? Separate them, take your sick one to the vet alongside some fecal mater to analise and cut down with beardy pellets that stuff is crapbeastruler;2086916; said:My beardy is staying extremely small
I agree with coura. Separate them and use fish food as much as possible. It almost sounds like the diet is protein heavy. The bulk of their food should really be vegetable.

At his age growth slows down a lot. He looks healthy- some bloodlines of beardies just don't get as big. Mine is a little older than yours and looks to be about the same size. I'm told they might put on some growth after brumating- which my 2yr old has yet to do.
