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.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
