Feeding Change

[Ginjasnapz]

Hi!

My beardie is around 15 months old. He eats salad and veggies everyday and sometimes twice a day. We are currently still feeding him Dubia roaches everyday. I know when they get older they are supposed to eat more salad and bugs get cut down. Should I be cutting his bug feeding down now? If so, how many should he be having and how many times a week? Thanks!!!

Please drop to 2-3 times per week - feed as many as he will eat -- what kind of UVB are you using please this will determine the calcium hes getting

Ok so dust the insects one time a week w/ calcium D3 the other two days calcium w/ out D3 NO phosphorus -- make sure your UVB is properly placed and distanced for the screen on the tank --
