How many times does he eat a day, and what exactly does he eat? Sometimes some beardies grow slower than others. Is his belly fat and round, or skinny and wrinkly? (little wrinkles when they bend are normal, but they shouldn't be wrinkly if they're stretched out) You can always take him to a vet if you feel he is too small, just remember to take a fresh stool sample with you to have tested.

The crickets shouldn't be any larger than the space between his eyes. He should be getting more of them too. Give him as many as he'll eat in a sitting.

Feed him small crickets and/or small silkworms, dust with calcium at least 5 times a week (I use rep-cal Calcium with D3) and a multivitamin 3-5 times a week (I use Rep-cal Herptivite) I don't really remember how big he was. We measured him from time to time but didn't keep track. There's a pretty good growth rate chart at dachiu.com

oh and feed him greens at least once daily as well. Try giving him those first thing so he'll eat more
