Help! I need advice. My baby bearded dragon is about 2.5 months old (7 inches long). I'm feeding him extra small (.25") dubia roaches (he won't touch any worms or veggies). I feed him about 3 times per day and feed him one at a time with tongs until he's full (within a 10-15 min period). Typically he has 15-20 per meal. But yesterday he was eating a bit more and then this morning for breakfast, he ate 40 extra small dubia roaches!!! Needless to say, his belly is very full (as usual). But I'm worried if I should have cut him off at a certain number? I've read and heard from experts and breeders that babies should eat as much as they want in a 10-15 min period, but 40 roaches?! He is passing them just fine (HUGE poops though, lol)
I should note that he's towards the end of this parasite medication process (concentration meds given by the vet every 2 weeks, 3 times). He was heavily infested with coccidia, pinworms, and hookworms and found out 10 days after I brought him home The first week and a half, I had to feed him critical care food by syringe since he refused to eat. He's been eating on his own again for a week and a half. So not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Any advice would be helpful! Just need to really know if I should be cutting him off at a certain point. Thanks!!
