We have a very young bearded dragon. I was told by guesstimates on here that he's around 6 weeks to 8 weeks old. I have all the things he needs to thrive. A 40 gallon breeder tank, uvb and heat lamps along with a basking spot, hiding places and no sand in our terrarium. He gets live small cricket 2-3 times a day. Along with a green salad with cumber, mustard greens, and carrots or what ever we have that is safe for him to eat that day. Also gets a few juvenile bearded dragon food pellets on his salad misted down. Every other day or so I add a fruit strawberries or papaya something like that just a tiny bit. My question is I've heard that even a baby can eat like 15 crickets in one sitting but our little guy can barely eat 4-5 crickets in a 15 minutes period.
Is that normal. I always offer him as many as he wants but he is just slow after the first couple and doesn't seem interested. I was worried because he wasn't eating much salad until today, he eat like half of the salad I gave him.
Thanks for the responses in advanced
