[QUOTE="DMike, post: 2044394, member: 118898"] Please help! I have seen mixed feedback and results when searching if there is such a thing as feeding my juvenile beardie too many crickets. Mikey is currently 12" long and estimated to be about 4-5mo old. When we got him a couple of months ago, the pet store gave us all kinds of wrong information and we learned that we were unintentionally starving him. Now that he finally has a good appetite, he eats an average of 20-30 small calcium-dusted gut-loaded crickets per feeding, 4-5 times per day. He also gets about 5-10 small wax worms a day as a treat. He has never been big on his veggies or his pellet food, but we recently discovered that he loves finely chopped fresh Mustard Greens and he is eating that very well now, probably about 1-2 tablespoons per day. He poops daily and it looks perfectly healthy and normal, and he is moderately active when he is not basking or napping. He is very affectionate and loves when we take him out and let him explore. All of this leads me to believe that his diet is just fine, but I am a little worried now because I am first-time beardie parent and I ran into another beardie parent at the pet store who said that he is eating way too many crickets and that it could make him sick. Any insight and/or advice on changes that should be made to his diet are very much appreciated. I just love my boy so much and want to make sure that I am taking the absolute best care of him.
