5mo old beardie and dubia

[Brezzy99]

My 5 mo old beardie has been wild all day. I had him out while adding food and water to our breeder bin. He decided to crawl down the side of the bed and jump into the bin when my back was turned. I am not sure how many adult dubias he ate but I seen him grab two. He chewed for a split second before grabbing the second. I put him back in his enclosure and left his lights on longer so he could digest them. Is there anything I need to watch out for? He gets daily baths in the morning an hour after he eats. He poops in the water everyday. He seemed pretty happy with himself after helping himself to more food.

I had to laugh while reading this. Anyway it shouldn't be a problem. Most dragons will chew well on the roaches. I would just feed him soft foods for a day like a big salad and soft bodied worms. Once he poops a couple times there shouldn't be a risk of impaction. I also have a 5mo old dragon and feed him a occasional male discoid which are a little bigger than dubia's and never had a problem.

We were cracking up when I caught him. All day long he has been trying to wiggle into the container to a dubia feast. He pooped twice today and ate twice as much salad as usual. I sure hope his appetite didn't increase after the meal he helped himself to yesterday. He already eats 60-80 dubia a day plus salad. We got another beardie last week. She/he eats 18-22 a day and salad. She/he is now 5 1/4in and 7.6g. My 5mo old is 12in and 82g. He is a beast!
