My beardies are turning 7 months soon, my male is only 7 cm from nose to slit, and female is 6cm from nose to slit. I dont know why they are so tiny. One thery is that I didn't know they needed a UVB blulb and i got that for them two days ago. Please tell me why they are so small.[Their diet consists of crikets, soon to be ocasional wax worms(im getting those soon),and mustard greens with the ocasional fruit and veggies]

The lack of UVB could very well be the problem. Thats why you are supposed to research before you buy an animal, cause something like this can happen. Do you use calcium powder? Also add some more greens to their diets.

Well give them more of a variety, like kale, romaine, squashes, ect.
Here is a link to a site that will give you a plethora of different food items for beardies.

Give them Rep-cal juvenile bearded dragon formula and also try giving them sugar-snap peas. Put calcium powder on everything you feed them, especially the crickets. Waxworms are good too.
