Jeffy eats more on the days he’s fed his roaches

I’ve noticed that on the days that I feed Jeffy his dubia roaches he eats more of his salad than the off day. Is this common? I know that his diet needs to be more salad than bugs, but would it be ok to feed him one roach to stimulate his appetite for his salad?

Just be careful about feeding your roaches food that is high in protein, they convert it to uric acid and store it the way we do fat. Feeding them hi protein can lead to gout in your beardie. ( I'm not in any way suggesting not to feed dubias to your beardie, just be careful what you feed the dubias)

Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
