6 month old never full!

[Superhands]

Hi, my lizard Superhands is only 6 months old and a champion eater! Except he could quite literally eat his dubia roaches to no end, he doesn't seem to have a limit! So far I've been cutting him off around 10 medium roaches, do you guys think thats enough for a healthy growing beardie? I don't want him to get chunky !

Thanks so much

At 6 months he is just trying to support growth spurts. They tend to need a LOT of protein. I would give him 2-3 bug meals per day all he wants in about 10 min or so. The amount he wants will vary over time but if he's hungry let him eat lots of bugs for now. His appetite should start to slow down as he reaches full size at around 12-18 months and he will gradually transition to a more vegetarian diet.

Thanks Cooperdragon, will try that out tomorrow to see how it goes!
