Hello, so my bearded dragon laid a second clutch of eggs 3 weeks ago. While she was gravid and after she was gravid, I was told to give her 5-10 crickets a day. Should I still be doing this now that it has been 3 weeks? Is it a permanent thing in case she has another clutch? Or should it go down? I used to give her 5 crickets every other day because I thought the vet said to do that. But, that seems a little low to me. Does anybody know how much I should give her now? She eats her crickets real happily. She is being a bit picky and finicky with her greens.

Yes you should feed her 5-10 medium to large crickets a day rather than every other day since she's been laying eggs. You can have her tested for parasites soon if the poo stays runny.

Ok, thank you very much!!! I was doing 8 a day. But, I’ll go down to 5 to encourage her to eat her greens. I will have her poop tested if it stays runny.

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
