i have a 4 month old 12 inch male bearded dragon. i have seen on alot of forums including this one saying that other people feed their beardies 50-100 crickets per day?! the feeding schedule for my dragon is a few veggies in the morning along side 12-14 medium crickets and either a few super worms or some wax worms. i also put veggies in his tank after i put him back to digest his meal. later in the day i take him out again to feed some more, i might give him 6 more crickets, some super worms or wax worms and some fruit. and he has finnished his veggies by the next morning
After his first feeding in the morning i put him back in his tank bc he looks full, his stomach really does get bigger and looks a bit uncomfortable. though if i let him he would probably keep eating. i can not imagine feeding him 50-100 crickets in one sitting or even throughout the day, i could imagine him exploding if he ate that much.
he eats well is alert and active, and he regularly defecates. i thought before that i was over feeding him, and the forums are the only thing that is worrying me that that might not be the case. im not sure what i should do, and i am concerned for those that feed their dragons so much!
