Hi there,
I have a nine month old bearded dragon, whome is 45cm long and 415g. Is this about right? She doesn't look obese, and in her poo isn't showing any fat deposits. I just want to ensure this is the right weight for her build, as I have not been able to find a good source of weight and length charts according to age.
She has veg once a day, and loves her veg. Her medium size bowl is often all gone by the time I feed her some hoppers.
She has a box of hoppers every tea time (3 hours before her lights go off) in a box there is usually 20+ and she eats all of these down.
Sometimes I give her some worms, as a treat, but this isn't often as I know these are much like 'sweets' to them and can become addicted and get fat from them.
I just want to ensure what I am feeding her is the correct ratio for her age.
Also when will the ratio have to change, as in more veg than live feed. I know as an adult they don't need live feed everyday, I'm pondering about what age this would be? And when would be best from weaning her off her live feed everyday.
