Feeding info for baby beardie

[Joshua11891]

Is it okay if my baby beardie is eating around 35-45 crickets in a day plus a little bit of veggies or is that too much to feed him?

Hungry little bugger--- yep are you feeding those by hand or just dropping them in the tank or how are you feeding him? Please dont leave any crickets in the tank over nite -- they come out at nite and bite -- I would switch him over to dubias you wont go through as many as they are more filling and better nutritional wise --- if you need website to get them let me know I have a few along w/ getting worms as well --

Okay thank you!! And i drop them in the cage after dusted with calcium but i watch him for 15 minutes and whatever he doesn’t eat i take out due to them biting i just wanted to make sure i wasnt overfeeding the little guy!! But that would be awesome if you could give me the link for the dubias i can go ahead and try them and see if he gets filled up faster!!

www.dubiaroaches.com you can order from here they are out of Kansas
www.reptilesplus.com they have dubias as well and are affiliated w/ dubia roaches - they have small super worms great salad toppers also the BSFL also known as calci worms nutri grubs and phoenix worms- which are another great staple feeder-- order large as they are small - they dont need to be dusted feed as many as you want also butter worms are great for bowl luring as of now every one is out of them if you get the super worms only feed like 1-3 on his salad - horn worms they are a hydrating worm and grow very fast and get real big so only order in small amounts -
www.reptilianarts.com silk worms another great staple feeder -- if you order bulk make sure you get food and clean out the containers every day they will need to be fed everyday
