Am I over feeding my baby bearded dragon?

[Jennifer2000001]

Hello, I just got a new baby bearded dragon about a week ago. He/she is about 4 1/2 inchs long. I was wondering how many Soldier grubs he/she should eat a day, their size medium? It's eating anywhere between 15 to 24 a day. I just want to make sure he/she is not eating to much or to little. Thank you in advance.

black soldier larvae are very good, low in fat and high in protein and calcium. He should have as much as he wants. Make sure hes eating three times a day, being only 4 inches long hes basically a hatchling and needs all the food and proper care he can get.

Thank you. I just wanted to make sure I was feeding him enough. I got him from a place that only sells reptiles. I didn't realize he was so young. He seems to be doing great. I have had him almost a week now.

Let him eat his fill of the BSF lavae at least twice per day , thrice per day is even better.

He will not over eat.
