I (finally) get my beardie this weekend, so excited!
But before I got him I wanted to check if this routine is ok for him (he's an adult, very big, but I have no idea of his age, I'm adopting him from the reptile rescue centre):
Lights on at 6 am, off at 11 pm.
Every day: a salad with ingredients from the beautifuldragons food list, given to him between 7 and 9 am.
Dubia's every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday (or is that too much?), given to him in the evening (before 8 pm, so he has time to digest before lights out).
I will give him as much dubias as he'll eat in about 10-15 minutes.
How often should I dust his dubias with calcium? And with vitamins? And if I dust, should I dust all the dubias he'll eat? Or just a couple?
And on an onrelated note, how often should the UVB tube be replaced? I have a Reptisun T5 HO, and the box said to replace every year, but here I read every 6 months...
I really want to do right by him...
