I feed my almost 4 year old beardie 1 time a day, mainly in the evening. He gets veggies everyday but crickets every other. Am I feeding him too little? How and what do you feed your adult beardies?

Is he eating all the vegies hes given? The crickets I think can be offered twice a week w/ calcium D3 -- and vitamins as well maybe one time a week --- how about water- ? You can wash his vegies before serving so he can get water from there unless he drinks from a bowl---

He doesn’t eat them all. I do spray his veggies with water as well as him.

Then he us full I would say-- does he look thin to you and do you weigh him at all-- you can take a weight on him keep track if it and go from there

He does not look thin to me but then I guess I’m not too sure what thin looks like on a bearded dragon. He seems happy and all that. Just was wanting to make sure I wasn’t underfeeding him especially with the crickets. I do that every other day and he will eat about 10 then he’s done

That's a decent amount of live protein for an adult. I wouldn't worry.
If you can weigh him when can tell you better if he seems under or over for his size.

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
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
