I got my baby beardie three days ago, she is a month to two months old. The first day I had her she ate about eight crickets and five dubia roaches i was given when i bought her. Some of the roaches looked way too big so I threw them out. The next day there was one dubia roach that was hiding in there that she found and ate, and it looked a little too big but I wasn't fast enough to grab it and she ate it, after eating some crickets. A few hours later she threw up the roach, it didn't look very thoroughly chewed through. She then threw up again a little bit later. Yesterday, she ate a total of about ten crickets, and even though i ordered small, i think a few were too big for her again and a few hours after eating she threw up again. Within the next hour she threw up two more times. This morning she had about five crickets and seems to be doing fine. I am soaking her for ten mins a day to keep her hydrated. I also have greens for her to eat but she doesn't really touch them. The basking side is around 107 degrees. I don't know the wattage of the UVB but it was what the reptile store recommended, so I don't think there's a problem with heat/lighting. She is having regular bowel movements- once or twice a day.
I called the store and they said the food is probably too big and that is why she is throwing up and she could be eating too much, and that she could be dehydrated, so i'm making sure she is drinking water while she soaks. They told me to only feed her once a day and to not let her eat for longer than three minutes.
I just wanted a second opinion from all you beardie lovers to see why you guys think my beardie is throwing up.
