How Many Crickets Does Your Beardie Eat?

[Dbinder]

Just wanted to get an idea of how many crickets other people bearded dragons eat? My beardie is 6-8 months old. He always has fresh veggies available for him, he eats those a bit but absolutely loves crickets. He eats 40-50 large crickets in the morning and then another 30-40 in the late afternoon/evening. So 70-90 large crickets a day! This seems like so much to me. How many does everyone else's eat?

I'm interested to know this as well. Thanks for sharing!

I can't speak for my current one really as a comparison as he is only 6.5 weeks old. he eats about 14-18 crickets a day.

My last one ate about 80-100 crickets a day when he was just a slight bit older than yours is now. so don't worry. he is just a growing boy!

Mine will be 6 mo next week. He eats about 500 a week. Plus greens and either 100 calci worms or 25 large supers. He has slowed down this month. Prior to, he ate 700-800 crickets a week plus the other stuff. He's a pig though! When I got him he was 4" now he's 20"!
