how many crickets should he be eating?

[ccagle]

my Buddy is about 10 inches long and 3 and a half ounces...i have had him for 10 months...i feed him 10 crickets in the morning and evening plus worms for snacks and his salads..is this enough food? he always pounces when i drop crickets in there..it seems like hes still hungry..for sure dont want that. But i dont want to overfeed him either? any suggestions?

Feed him as many as he will eat in 15 minutes.

feed him more. if you've had him 10 months and he is only 10" then thats a bit small unless its a dwarf or rankins bearded dragon. feed him as much as he will eat in 15 mins. just a quick question are you sure you didnt mean you had had him just 1 month. because 3.5ounces (around 100 grams) is extremely small for a dragon thats around 10 months old. thats what a 3 month old bearded dragon would weigh

Mine is about 4 months old and 11 inches and will eat 20-30 crickets per feeding twice a day plus a cup of salad, just to give you an idea.
