Hi I have a 3 month old beardie who doesn't seem to eat that much, I've had it for about 3 and a half weeks and its never really eaten more than 10-20 insects a day. I started off feeding it crickets but it now will not touch them (or at least I haven't seen it eat many recently), however when I put some locusts in it eats them straight away but usually no more than about 10. I also put fresh greens in every day but it only eats a few bits and every now and again I put some woodlice (which I breed) in the tank which it goes crazy for. The little guy (Orion) has grown in the 3 weeks but very slowly and has been pooping every day and sometimes twice a day. My tank is set up properly and the temperatures are spot on.
Should I be worried or do some beardies just not eat as much as others?

There are some beardies that don't eat as much as others. Mine is getting ready for a shed and has slowed down in eating. Does it look like your beardie is about to shed?

what times of the day do you feed?

i know that with my beardie, he will ONLY eat at night for some reason. He won't touch anything throughout the day. I have tried and tried to get him to eat earlier. I used to be very concerned but he is growing just fine and when he does eat...he's a pig.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
