My 6 mo old beardie loves dubias and hates black soldier fly larvae. I know the rule of thumb for feeding them is letting them eat as much as they want for 10 min but he eats about 60 1/2 inch dubias in like 3 min so I haven't been letting him eat the whole 10 min because that seems like too much-- should I be letting him eat more? Just worried about over feeding
How many dubias to feed?

Go to www.dubiaroaches.com
look at the size there but I am thinking 3/4 to 7/8 inch now -- when hes eating a big enough roach he should be eating around 10-12 depending on what else hes eating--- salads worms and insects -- the salads and worms will help fill him up-- you can get some large super worms from https://flukerfarms.com/crickets-live-feeder-insects/
I have not been able to find super worms anywhere else at this time --
you can get some other worms like butter worms and horn worms from here
www.mulberryfarms.com they are the only ones that have butter worms
use the worms as lures as well to get him to the salad bowl - order small amounts if horn worms they grow REALLY FAST- butter worms are soft use 1-3 as well as the super worms 1-3 -- you dont want him hooked on the worms -- horn worms are a hydrating worm --

Yes offer in the afternoon --- nothing after 2 hrs when lights go out -- feed before then - w/ you feeding other things in the morning he may not eat a afternoon feeding-- just make sure your not dusting bugs at the second feeding ONCE per feeding
