How many Phoenix Worms?

[flamedragon]

I'm about to get my beardie and I wanted to know how many phoenix worms he would eat. The dragon I'm planning to get is 2 years old. I dont know his exact size but he looks to be 15" to 20". I know the rule of thumb is how many the dragon will eat in 10 to 15 minutes but I would just like a ruff estimate so I can know how many worms to order. Thanks .

Ohhhhh you will need a bunch! My boys could easily eat 30 large a day and would eat more and they are only 6 months old. Phoenix worms are not very big.

But, wouldn't an older dragon eat less protien I was pretty sure I read that somewhere :study: .

Yes but they are sooo cute and wiggly I think you would find it's a new "treat".

I would start out with an order for 400 and go from there.
