I've had my bearded dragon for a couple of weeks now. Bowser is settling in and eating great and pooping about every other day. He has an Arcadia T5 desert pro 24W UVB. I want to make sure I am feeding him enough insects. He is eating crickets and dubia roaches and veggies (arugula, kale, and some occasional butternut squash)
I'm still unclear how many insects he should have. I have been feeding by hand, except for the dubia roaches, I only give him a couple of those at a time because they are bigger for him. The crickets are small to medium-ish. So how many crickets should I be feeding him in a day and how many dubia roaches? Also, sometimes I give him both in one day.
I've tried looking up the answer for this, but there doesn't seem to be a straight answer. I don't dump the crickets in a tote to let him go at it for 10-15min, as I'm not picking him up yet. He's getting more used to me now though, so I'll be able to soon.
