My beardie is 5 months old and weighs 3.95oz which is 111.98 grams. He is 13 inches long. I give him mixed greens daily in his bowl and in the morning i feed him about 10-12 roaches and feed him the same in the evening. If i let him he would probably eat more. I use to feed him until he stopped being interested but i felt like i was constantly buying more crickets doing that. So now i switched him to roaches and he’s eating 10-12 per feeding twice a day. With salad available to him through the day. I’m wondering if he’s overeating ? Everywhere i read it says something different. I made an apt for him to see the vet for a check up next week to be sure he’s healthy. He is active and alert and i also give him calcium and vitamins. He is growing fast and i have a ceramic heat emitter on at night for his cage and during the day a dual lamp with a basking bulb and uv bulb. His temperature in the cage ranges from 98-104. He is going to the bathroom normally. He seems happy. I just worry he’s over eating. The place i bought the roaches from said to feed him 3 in the am and 3 in the pm but i thought that was so little? Any advise would be so helpful! I’m going to try and attach a picture of his last two growth trackinks (i started logging it for the vet visit) THANK YOU!
