[QUOTE="Axil, post: 2033969, member: 117612"] Ok well I took the time to watch the guide and it does track pretty well with Dr. Howard's recommendations. The only thing that I don't remember from the interview was 30g being the cutoff point where he suggested you swap to every other day feeding. I don't have the same vitriol towards the maker of the video some of you guys do. He took the time to go to one of the leading voices in the field and this is the advice that was given. I've seen people defend the 15min 3x a day rule just as enthusiastically where thier only source was some random carw sheet they had followed. I remember being concerned because Beebz would literally eat 40 roaches in 2 minutes and only stop because I cut him off and being told on reddit that if he wanted more he should be given more. Dr. Howard's recommendations aren't even the *most* extreme [S]I've seen some guy on Facebook was talking about having fed what I believe was a single insect a day for the first year and had taken measurements that shows his Dragon's growth. I'll try to find his article it was pretty extreme.[/S] [URL='https://reptilenetworks.co.uk/2021/03/18/reptile-feeding-amounts-low-quantity-high-quality/']I found the article[/URL] and I misremembered what I'd read he fed his dragon 8-10 bugs a day until 6mo and less thereafter. result are in the article. So personally I'm glad there are people out there challenging the established practices and seeking out the doctors and scientists with thr most up to date husbandry knowledge. I just don't like how these opinions, even expert opinions, are touted as the indisputable truth without hard data to back them up. And I'm more disappointed in Doctor Howard than I am the video author because as a doctor he ought to be aware that it takes a lot of data to prove out new ideas. Lots of new medications for example look really promising until study results come in and show downstream consequences that were unanticipated. [/QUOTE]
