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!

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
