Hi everyone.
I have a 6 month old beardie named Cleo. She has a huge appetite which is good however I'm worried about overfeeding her, leading to weight issues. I know that the rule is as many crickets as she can eat within 10-15 minutes, however she is handfed as she struggles to catch the crickets and then they hide in her viv, and she won't eat out of a separate feeding box.
I feed her 3 times a day and she eats about 20-25 crickets each feeding, along with her salad which she eats regularly now. I am probably going to cut her down to 2 feedings a day.
So, I'm just wondering if this is okay or if it's too much for her at this age?
Sorry for the long post! Thanks

That's definitely true, she doesn't stop haha. She's eating 3rd crickets as a staple and some small hoppers at the moment. Eating is her favourite thing!

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
