How much and how often?

[HusseyL8]

I was just wondering what your Beardies diet consists of and how much you feed him/her.

Alvin eats a mixture of circkets, phoenix worms, and butter worms along with some dandylions (sp?), collard greens, and escorle (sp?). He just in the last couple weeks really got into his vegies (he is only 3.5 months old). His favorite is the escorle and his favorite worm is the butter worms. He goes in spurts as to how much he will eat. One day he will binge and eat a ton and the next couple of days he will eat moderately. He eats twice a day and the first feeding all worms and vegies are always available which I give him before I go to work. When I get home, he eats between 25-35 crickets (unless he is getting ready to shed in which case he won't eat hardly anything) and a few more worms.

I just recently ordered in some Small Super Worms which are between 3/4" and 1" in size. He ate two yesterday as I wanted to start him out slow to see how he would handle digesting them. The small size is a new option with the Mulberry Farm. He is 12.5" big so I wanted to see how they went. He actually seems a bit nervous around them so I am not sure how he likes them yet. I will only give him a couple at a time to see if he can handle them.

Gizmo is two now, she get superworms, butterworms and locusts as protein, she has only just strated eating veggies, and this is really a battle! but collard greens, spring greens, pansies, squashes, carrots (sometimes) she will only eat it if it moves, which involes me waving it around, or only feeding her outside! spoilt!!

Generally she gets the mix of greens etc in the morning, and in the afternoon i swap them for fresh, and all of her live feeders are placed in the bowl, hopefully she will eat some accindentally!

i also gut load the live feeders. that is giving them the greens etc which i give her so they are a bit more nutirtious than if they are just eating cardboard! lol tasty!
