Did I overfeed my beardie?

[SRT12141992]

He hasn't eaten anything except a few freeze-dried crix/veggies daily for the last 4 days because I ran out of worms. Just got in an order of 1,000 large reptiworms today. Used to feed him about 10-15 medium reptiworms a day, but he seems to small for his age so I'm feeding him more. I'm planning to feed him 40 a day, but ended up feeding him all 40-45 at once because he was so hungry from not eating much in the last few days. Like 5 minutes later I gave him a salad with shredded up carrots (he loved the carrots!!) that i had drenched in water with a spray bottle.

Was it bad to give him that much at one time? Will he be okay? I was planning to give 20 in the morning, 20 at night normally.

How old is your dragon?

Babies should be offered live food 2-3 times per day, and AS MUCH as they can eat in a 10-15 minute time span. Along with daily salad.

This can easily = over 50 reptiworms a day.

I got him in May of last year at Petsmart, he was about 4 inches when I first got him, I just measured him and hes over a foot long now! I didn't know he was that long he must have just had a growth spurt last time I had measured he was around 9in.

He should be fine.

Make sure you go light on the carrots since they carry high levels of Vit. A however..

I remember reading somewhere that Beardies are attracted to orange foods(and therefore more apt to eat their salad) - sweet potatoes are a better alternative though

He'll eat all of his salads with no problem with or without the carrots, I just thought i'd try them and he lovved them, but I'll use them only occasionally. And I think it was the orange he was atracted to 'cuz he picked them out of the salad and then ate the lettuce
