Hi,
I have read through a few of the forums and cant really get an answer to what i am looking for. I have my first Beardie called Spyro who is eating us out house and home. We have had him for just over a week and he is 4 months old.
Currently he is eating between 50-100 medium gutloaded crickets and 5 medium Dubia roaches a day.... in the UK Dubia roaches are soo expensive so i am not using them as his prime source but he will have at least 5 per day. he also has salad every day and loves rocket, squash, pepper and kale but will not really touch his staple collard greens.
After looking online he seems much bigger than other 4 month old beardies so i want to see if medium crickets are the right size for him as some of them are huge and have abit of a hard shell. he seems to eat everything in sight and chews very well before swallowing however I have refrained from feeding these ones too him but shortly i am going to have a box of just large hard shell crickets and nothing to do with them.
Any help on this would be great as i don't want to cause impaction by feeding the larger harder shelled crickets?
PS Here is a picture of our ferocious beast who is as soft as a teddy bear but unfortunately in shed.
