how much is too much?

[missnikki]

okay so i have a bearded dragon im not sure how old she is but she just layed eggs not even a week ago. and i know that after they have layed eggs they are supposed to be given as much food as they will eat. well she loves super worms and she always gets her veggies and a lot of calcium, but her last feeding she ate 20 super meal worms. and she was still looking for more. im just wondering if there is such a thing as too much or should i just give her everything that she wants to eat?
thanks

Usually you feed beardies as much as they want to eat in a 15 minute time period.

well its just in the 15 minute interval she would eat 50 worms if i let her and it doesnt matter how much other stuff she has ate before. im just worried about the worms making her impacted, but i dont wanna stop giving them to her because that is her favourite food.

some one told me around here 35 worms a week since they are so fatning.

Well since she is an adult you can feed the mealworms as a treat but i would only be feeding her the supers. And as for how much as much as she wants. She will eventually refuse them or loose interest after a certain amount. Or you can just do like a 15 minute period. Too much food after laying eggs is not going to be a problem. I would get her weight back up and then resume regular feeding \

Good luck

ya i only feed her supers. i thought that they were the same thing but i am learning now that they are not. but okay as long as there is not such a thing as feeding them too much then i will feed her as much as she wants to eat. thank you very much. greatly appreciated

keep in mind this is only to get her weight back on. after that go to normal feeding
