Baby Beardie eats 25+ roaches easily

[mltchell]

I have a baby beardie almost 2 months old and is eating easily 20+ baby roaches 2 times a day plus his salad, i maybe go through 200 in a week and a half - 2 weeks. Should i have a limit for the little guy.

BTW he isnt fat what so ever and poops 1-2 times a day

don't limit his intake, but as he grows the size can increase a bit with the old between the eyes scale

so just let him eat as many as he possibly can now?

While they are growing let them eat all they want. Just make sure that crickets and roaches are not larger than the space between your Beardies' eyes.

My Ragnar will eat a LOT of Dubias at a feeding. 25 does not seem out of line. I do Dubias once a day and hornworms once a day. Dust with calcium and vitamins. He is growing like crazy so it must be working.
