I am new to the beardie scene. I have a question I see where everyone says that their beardie eats 15-20 crickets a sitting. My beardie is a juvenile and I offer him crickets at least twice a day but he will eat no more than 5 a sitting if that. He is eating his greens and still very active. I am just curious on whether he is getting enough from the few amounts of crickets he eats? Due to him not eating many crickets I just ordered dubia roaches and BSFL. Even though I plan to get rid of the crickets (500) to replace with the dubia roaches should I be worried? Could it be he just doesn't care for crickets?
Bearded dragons can be pretty picky eaters. My sister's brearded dragon won't eat the crickets, throws fits over greens, and goes crazy over worms; and on the other hand, my dragon will eat almost anything.
How old is your bearded dragon?
He weighs about 20g and is about 7" long. I am not sure how old he is I got it at petsmart. I offer him crickets twice a day. The crickets I give him are tiny probably about 3/8".
