Baby Beardie eating a lot!

[Ronni1123]

Not saying this is a problem..
But, she eats like every 30 minutes or so.
I put her cup of Phoenix worms in there in the morning, and then take it out at night.
She went through about 600 of them last week.
Should I lower the amount of times I feed her?

Her tummy is definitely getting bigger, and she is becoming heavier.
She is about 11"-12". Not sure of her weight.
She has a poo everyday.

But she hasn't had a shed in three months... is this normal?
Thanks!!

I'm sure someone knows something..

Growing beardies will eat alot of feeders as they grow. As long as she is pooping regular and is growing, it shouldnt be an issue.

Normally feeding them 2-3 times a day, as much as they will eat in 10-15 minutes is what most say on here. Some will eat more some eat less, you shouldn't cut them back on food when they are young.

Okay, so it's okay that I leave her Phoenix worms in there all day? She just keeps going back to the container and eat more and more.

But about the shedding, is that normal?
How often do babies shed?

It depends on the beardie. We have a female that's about 8.5 months old and she's shedded once since we got her on November 7, 2012 and she shedded once since then about a month ago. She's started her second shed last week but her first shed took about a month to get rid of.

When we first got Redrock (she's been dead since 2008) and she was first with us it seemed like she was in a constant shed, she was between 4 to 6 months old then. Rosie didn't seem to shed as much when she was the same age but she didn't eat as much as Redrock did.

Hm, okay.
I'll keep an eye on here, and let her eat as much as she wants.
