Hatchling vs juvenile

[cueva619]

Is there any difference between feeding a hatchling and a juvenile? And if there is at what age do you change the amount?

Juvenile is generally when they start eating like there's no tomorrow. Think of the difference as between a 5 year old eating and a 12 year old eating. A hatchling could eat maybe 10 pinheads a day but a juvenile could easily pack away 40 or 50 small sized crickets a day, if not a feeding.

I forget what age the transition takes place but it'll be around 4-6 months I think. General rule of thumb for any beardie under 18 months is just to feed as many feeders as they want in 5-10 minutes. Around a year to 14 months, I started giving Darwin 7 supers every other day when I noticed he was getting the chubs.
