How many BSFL should I feed in a week? How many should I buy? Need help!

I want to change to BSFL as a staple. I only have one bearded dragon and she's an adult.

I'm wonder what a good quantity is to start out with and how much she should eat in a week?

I don't want to run out quickly, but I don't want to end up with a bunch of flies either if she can't eat them all.

To those who use it as their staple, about how many do you feed your beardie in a week? I know they're pretty small.

The flies are good to feed - it's going to be a guessing amount-- I would start out feeding around 75 and feed 2-3 times per week - see how many she eats at a time- then go from there-- get large of course -

Thanks! Is that about 75 a week, or each feeding? I'm guessing per week since that seems like it'd be a lot otherwise but I just want to make sure.

Nope that is each feeding they are a small larvae and it takes a lot of them to feed a adult dragon - like I posted its going to be trial error to see how many she actually eats -- your only feeding once a day for a adult dragon --- and 2-3 times per week - you can also offer meal worms super worms and horn worms as treats 2-3 time per week as well

Okay, thanks so much!
