Hello! Quick question: What do you feed your juvenile beardie?
Mine doesn't like crickets so I am looking for an alternative.
So far he likes Small Dubai roaches and I fed him superworms (which he absolutely loves!) but I heard that it's not a good staple food. The problem with Dubai roaches are that the ones I buy come in a tub of 35 but I heard they can eat 25 in one sitting which seems like a ton! So if you could just tell me what to food him and how much is ideal I would greatly appreciate it...Thanks!
Also he's about 3 months old and 11 inches from the tip of his head down to his tail.

Yea I order Dubia's off amazon actually. First time ordering got 200 and they were gone in a week or so (since I had some crickets left over.) But now I ordered 800 since they will actually last unlike crickets. They are soooo much easier to feed than crickets.

I've used crickets and silkworms.
I've tried blowfly maggots .... pupated before they arrived , the flies were a hit with Peppa and Toothless though when they little hatchlings !
Another good feeder if you cant get them are black soldier fly maggots aka phoenix or calci worms or calcigents.

Peppa and Toothless are both currently 7 months old and classified as juveniles now , and each polishing off 30 x 2/3 sized crickets per day (split into 2 feeds) + buk choi greens and grated carrot and sweet potato daily.

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
