Hello everyone,
I recently got my first bearded dragon and I'm a little confused on how much he/she should be eating. "She" is a little over 10inches long and eats like a horse! I have read mixed advice online some stating while they are growing to let them eat as much as they want while others say to apply the 5-10min rule. "She" currently eats about 30-40 or more crickets each feeding and is fed twice a day. So about 60+ a day. She would eat even more but I eventually cut her off in fear that I may be over feeding her. Plus "she" grazes on collarded greens through out the day. I dust "her" crickets during her first meal every other day and give her herptivite multivitamins once a week. Is it healthy for "her" to eat this much?
