I got my beardie about 7 months ago and he was 4 inches including tail so I just assume he is 8ish? But anyways I give him salad an hour after lights on and freshen them in the afternoon and he picks throughout the day, more so if I wait to give crickets(I tend to wait and see if he'll eat some greens first) then tend to give him 30 crickets a day. I weighed him today and he was 289g
