Hey so long story short. I rescued a new beardie from a client at work . His tail and one hind leg were chewed off. His body is 4-5 inches and he has no tail. I read that they should be allowed to ear as many crickets as they can in 10-15 minutes each day then offer salad for the rest of the day. Well I fed mealworms ( i now know they can cause impaction) , as many as he would eat in 10-15 minutes and he would consume upwards of 20. After a few days of this he began looking lethargic and refused food. I would give him warm baths and only offer salad. The next day same thing...until the afternoon when he puked a bunch of worms up. I didnt offer any salad and gave him a second bath that day. This whole time he has been deficating normal. This morning offered his salad again, mid day it had looked like he picked at it . Tonight I brought home some small crickets. He was very intersted and ate. I only let him eat five then got him to eat some collards and mustard greens. Now that the long story short part is out of the way my question is now that i got him on crickets how much should I be feeding him?
Thanks for any insight and help
