Hungry dragon

[Stevekerr]

I had my dragon for over a month know and he has shead 2 times know well in middle of 2 nd right know and I feed him 2 times a day about 25 -30 crickets but when I feed him he gets very jumpy and set there with mouth open and tong out wait for the first cricket too fall . I' m I feeding him enoff or is that normal and I thought dragons eat less when shedding he has veges in tank and food pellets in there so he can get food any time he needs it thanks for any info

He probably should be eating a lot more insects.

Hi. He should be fed 2x to 3x a day for 10 to 15 mins.

Wow. I wish I had this issue. Haha. 30-60 crickets a day is a good amount of food.

I'm pretty sure dragons are like humans. They eat until they aren't hungry then stop. So feed him until he wont eat anymore. That's what I do.

My BD is finally eating with a purpose. We are up to 8 crickets and 5 super worms.
