I’ve decided to switch from crickets to BSFL but now I’m unsure of how many to buy (I have to buy bulk online) because I don’t know how many she would approx eat a day. Right now she eats 20-25 1” crickets a day (I offer more but she doesn’t want them) without her salad (she gets picky and doesn’t eat it some days).

12x MED gutloaded crickets (2/3 size) = 3g ==> 0.25g each
I just weighed some large white BSFL , 10 worms = 0.9g ==> 0.09g each worm.

So each cricket is equivalent in mass to 25/9 = 2.7 round up to 3 BSFL .

So if your dragon eats 25 crickets per day and they are medium sized crickets (2/3 size) and not adult crickets , you can likely expect if the dragon accepts BSFL , that it will eat 75 large white BSFL per day.



She is 6.5 months, 17.5” and 302g so she’s not tiny ? I’m not worried about price or anything, my landlord just about had a heart attack when he came across a loose cricket in our apartment so I have to switch ?
P.S. I know she likes them I’ve given them to her before to see but couldn’t find them for a long while.
