So I'm new to owning a beardie but I have a little experience from boarding them at my job. Everyone's feeding inatruction have been different and I'm a little confused with what exactly to do with mine. I reacued him on Tuesday. I read online youre supposed to do 80% greens and 20% live food. Hes 7 years old and looks pretty neglected from his previous owner. I can see hos ribs and what looks like maybe hip bones(?)at the base of his tail.. Ive thrown some carrots and other types of veggies in with him and within 15 minutes hes already eaten it all. So I threw about 5 crickets in there and he ate them right away too. Since he kept eating, I figured he was hungry so i gradually kept putting more crickets in until he stopped eating them.... Which was around 25 to 30 all together.
I don't know if thats the correct way to feed them or if I should be doing it different to put some weight on him. He looks terribly small for 7 years old. He is about the same size as my friends 7 month old female beardie... Can someone gove me some guidance? I feel like ive read a ton of information but I feel lost trying to help this guy out...
