So I go to the store to get more roaches and they are wondering why I come in often to get them. I told them I feed Jaxson as many medium size by Dubias he can eat. I don’t count. I just know he is still looking after 6 so I add more. They tell me for his size, 10.5 inches, he is only suppose to eat 6-8 medium Dubias 2x per day and if he still seems hungry constantly then I should jump up to the large size Dubias and decrease the amount I give him so I wouldn’t have to keep coming in. They also said I need to be careful because I could be over feeding him if he is just a greedy beardie. Is this information correct? What is good number wise with medium sized Dubias?

When they are still growing they can get pretty hungry and I don't see overfeeding as a big concern compared with feeding adults a lot of bugs. I'd just keep offering as much as he wants. As far as moving to a larger size, that may work as long as he can chew them up well, but it depends on how he handles them.
