Do beardies eat less as they get older?

[dystopoly]

I'm relatively new to being a beardie owner, and I got my very first 3year old girl about a month ago. There was a few weeks where she was stressed out and barely eating - she's calmed down bunches since then but I've noticed she doesn't eat as much as I would expect a younger beardie to. She doesn't refuse food and she loves bugs, but seems to get full after maybe 4-5 pieces of food and a few greens. (She has a bit more of an appetite for bugs - she'll go through a good deal of those before getting full.) She's in no way a concerning weight, in fact I'd classify her as being a bit OVERWEIGHT, so I'm not all that concerned about her eating habits - just wondering if they're normal for such an older beardie.

Adults don't eat nearly as much as young dragons do as they aren't growing the way the little ones do. A 3yr old's diet should be about 80% veges so I'd provide a nice big salad every day with a few items from this list depending on what you can get fresh http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html Offer a few bugs per day or a slightly larger meal every couple of days to supplement this. If she's at a good weight, you may need to withhold bugs for a while to entice her to eat more salads if she's not used to them.
