It's been in a 20 gallon long for 6 months by itself, and I feed him crickets and mealworms, dusted with calcium. And some greens occasionly.

I bred him, so I know it's not a different kind of lizard, but when I had him in a tank with a larger bearded dragon, he wouldn't eat, and has been by himself ever since and eating just fine. Just not growing.

You should read up more on their diet. As adults they should have something like 85% greens. They will also take pinkies. It may be a rankins dragon, otherwise who knows.

could be a genetic thing, I met a guy at a rep show with a female beardie that was 2 years old and only measured 9" and wouldn't eat anything larger than 2-3 week old crix. All her sibling were full grown
