Hello! We are 100% newbie Beardie owners, and are excited to learn all the ways to enjoy and give Nova the best life possible! My son just turned 13, and finally got his wish. He started out with fish and a hamster for a few years to make sure he could be responsible enough to have his own pet(s). With the guidance of myself and his father we believe he will do great.
Looking forward to all the knowledge we will gain here.
I have 2 (separate enclosures) the oldest baby has kind of weened herself down to eating insects twice a day... she is a big girl at about 108grams. The slightly younger 3 month old is eating insects 3 times a day. Usually about 30-40 small dubia roaches at breakfast then anywhere from 20-35 BSFL at lunch and again at dinner. I always put extra in and let her decide how much she wants. She walks away when she is done... usually after about 5 minutes or so. They both get a salad in the morning that they can graze on all day.. I keep it misted so it doesn't dry out. Nova, the youngest seems to be cutting back at lunch though so some days only like 10 BSFL at lunch.
