My beardie was purchased on April 24th, and on that day he was roughly 6", so at 19" I'm assuming he's about 8-9 months old (if not 10). I feed him a salad once and bugs twice daily.

Supplements schedule:
Mon-Wed: Calcium no D3
Thurs-Fri: Calcium D3
Saturday: Fluker's Multivit

From my research I noticed I'm supposed to cut down feeding, is that right? How much? With that in mind, would I need to make changes to his supplementation, too?

Also, I'm trying to get more variety into my beardie's salad. I want to try endive. When you say endive can be a staple, do you mean the curly grass kind of endive or the pale green cigar shaped ones?

Hes still young keep feeding as you are -- here is a website for nutrition
http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html ignore the kale thing its a good staple feeder
I would add more bug variety and add worms -- super butter horn and silk - silk worms are a great staple feeder-- are you using a T 5 UVB?

Im using a T8 right now but I'm building a large tank and will get a T5 then. I do feed hornworms, supers, and mealworms as salad toppers and treats. At what age do you think I should feed him less? Also i tried getting silk worms a few times but they were always out.

I'll probably wait until they have more then 25 in stock or look into silkworm eggs. Thanks for the help.

No I can order several cups but only the small sized ones. In my opinion if I order the small ones which are said to be 1/8" then I might as well expirament with some eggs. And ordering a few cups will be pretty pricey.

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
