How many full size dubia?

[Dogstar5988]

I recently got some large full size roaches in the mail. They are pretty big for my 6 month old dragon but he handles them fine. My question is how many of these large dubias should I give him in a day? I can't imagine more than 2 would be needed to fill his belly and I don't want to over feed him. He hasn't been eating much of his salads either and has mostly been sticking to his bugs.

Could you post a picture of your dragon compared to the size of the roach?

They are quite filling, especially the larger ones.

Well he was certainly glad you asked for those pictures as you can see by the action shots.

I prefer feeding smaller than that, but they shouldn't cause any problems. Just my personal preference.

2 or 3 of those should definitely be good. I'd be inclined to offer 1 or 2 and some other bugs alongside it. Variety is key afterall

Ok thank you. He gets the dubias and superworms right now. Maybe one or two supers a day. Also some BSFL.
