So 2 things actually— I just got a baby beardie 5 weeks ago.. she’s only 2.5 months old! Super cute. Very curious. Super cuddly. GREAT eater.
My question is this- she’s been eating everything i give her- Dubias, hornworms, greens, apples, a couple mealworms. (I dust them with calcium as well and she gets weekly vitamin powder). Well, I’ve been feeding her dubias twice a day before work and I upped the size for her since she seems to like the bigger ones.. but this girl can eat! I only give about 10 each time because they are bigger. She used to get 15-20 extra small ones at a time before this.. she eats fast too. Like feeding her only takes two minutes because she eats so fast.. but I’m like, should I keep giving more and more? I think if I kept going, she’d probably eat 40 or 50 a day! Lol. She has no limit. Is that safe? She’s already shed twice. She’s a tubby little thing. Very comfortable with me.. should I feed her more? They say as many as they will eat in a 10-15 min period but I’m telling you she has no limit! She inhales 10 decent sized Dubias in 1 minute.
Second question- tonight I came home to her sleeping against the glass on the cool side of her tank. She’s never done this before, as she always sleeps in her hammock under the basking lamp after they turn off at 9 pm. Should I be worried? Was she too hot or something? Or is she just getting comfortable exploring different parts of the tank?
Thanks!
