Leopard gecko growth

[frost1375]

I feel like out of my five geckos, only two are the size they should be. I have one female who the vet said would probably never get any bigger because of a stunted growth. I have a male who has MBD and just seems so skinny. He's long, but skinny and definitely not as hefty as the two I'm comparing them all to. I got my little girl about a year ago and she's still tiny. I was just wondering what the rate of their growth should be. I'm just afraid my girl will end up not growing as well. Looking at pictuers online of leopard geckos, the three of mine definitely look too small. If anyone has any ideas, let me know. I think I would just be happy knowing that she can still be growing. Thank you.

Some Geckos just grow to be a smaller size than average as with any animal e.g humans... " Stunted growth " may be caused by lack of nurishment or lack of a varied diet... I mean i use over 5 feeders excluding wax worms as the occasional treat... i switch between them... this is as every feeder has different nutritional values which are needed for growth... Most people will only use 1 or 2 during the gecko's whole life but that is up to them...

Or possibly they are just "slower growers"... either way its not really something to worry about...
