Hello I am asking a feeding question again as I thought I was on the right track but now I am not so sure. My Beardie is 9 months old, always been a good eater! She is quite plump and I have always followed the rule of 5-10 mins as much as they can eat and food gets supplemented each day at every feeding (2 times per day now) with either calcium or vits. She is shedding at the moment so not eating much but on a normal day this is what she eats:
1st feeding (AM) Around 10-25 appropriately sized brown crickets +
veg usually rocket which is left there all day, she usually eats 90% of this too.
2nd feeding (PM) 10-25 appropriately sized crickets but if I want to give her locusts (around 1cm) I usually give her less and she can easily eat 10-15 of these.
She always jumps out when she is full, even if there are crickets left, if they run out before 5-10 mins I add more.
I have been told that this is WAY too much and I should be feeding her now once a day and around 10 crickets OR Locusts with veg.
