I got a bearded dragon at around 4 months ago, he is now around 7-8 months and I'm struggling to find a feeding plan for him, I'm new to owning any reptile. So what should I start feeding my 7-8 mother old headed dragon? How often should I feed him, and when should I feed him?

Well I've been switching it up trying to find what works best, I got him from my sister who fed him Dubai roches (as many as he'd eat) so I continued to do that! But starting yesterday I stopped and started feeding him as many crickets as he'd eat, and than as for his salads I use kale with chopped up yellow squash

ok so feed salads every day Nutrition Content ignore the kale info its outdated and the crickets are ok but I would go back to the dubias -- you can also feed silk worms as a staple - BSFL as well - horn worms are a good treat worm along w/ super worms-- meal worms - I would stay away from the wax worms - they are really fatty and can cause liver damage if fed too many --

Gus - he’s a rescue!
How much water should I be giving my bearded dragon? He will only drink from a dropper when I drop on his nose and I’m not sure if I should give it to him until he won’t drink anymore? Or should I stop after he’s had a certain amount?
Just want to check that if my beardie is ok I managed to get a video of him yawning today and screenshot him with his mouth open does he have mouth rot??? He is eating and drinking normally btw, the discoloration on his left of the mouth has been there for a month but the discoloration on his right side is new
