My beardy is about 3 months old. I had been feeding him just Dubia Roaches as well as greens and occasionally some mealworms. I have just began giving him nutrigrubs. I read that you don’t have to dust them but should I be dusting anything else? Such as the roaches. Do I still need to give reptivite? I was also wondering how many I should be giving him a day if he is still eating roaches as well. Should I cut back on roaches if I’m giving him nutrigrubs? Thanks in advance for any help!

Hmm..To be honest I would fall back on the mealworms altogether until he is at least 16".
As for the Nutrigrubs (known as BSFL) and Dubias, I would mix it up and continue feeding him both along with fruits and veggies. The more the variety of insects as well as fruits and veggies, the better.
Honestly, I would feed him both BSFL and Dubias each feeding, or completely alternate them each week so he never gets tired of either. Feed him as much as he'll eat in 15 minutes, within that time period if he stops eating or shows disinterest. Don't force him, he'll stop when he's full.
