Hey BD.org!

Ok so now my Mikey is around 2 months and 2 weeks old and he is my 1st beardie, and I got some questions

Ok so hes been eating less crickets in the last few weeks and im just wondering if its what time im feeding him at or is his diet changing? he eats a lot (well a good amount) of his special salad i make him and he eats only like... maybe 8-10 crickets. But he used to just chomp down like at least like 14-16 a feeding (once a day).

So what should his eating habbits be like by now? More veggies and stuff and less crickets?

Mikey's eating habits should still be strong until around a year when they slow down in growing they slow down with eating. 80%protein(live feeders) and 20%salad then opposite once he is an adult. What size of crickets are you feeding him? They should be the size between his eyes. How is his poop? Maybe go over what type of lighting you have, substrate etc. To give us a more clear idea of what his set up is. Basically he should be fed live feeders 2-3x a day for a 10-15 minute time period and fresh salad offered throughout the day even if he doesnt want it at least it is offered.

so then how many crickets should i let him eat then? and the crickets and the right size for him, the length between his eyes.

how many times should i feed him if i say do it twice a day? or just as many as he'll eat in 10-15 mins?

thanks,

Feed him as many appropriately sized crickets as he'll eat in 10-15 minutes, twice a day. It's good to hear he likes his salad too!
