Need advise.

Beardie name(s)
Mushu
Hello everyone I need some advice on Mushu. He is almost a year old and I know the protein needs to be cut down from daily soon if not now- I have missed a day feeding him a dubia or three and I noticed he gets LAZY with none being fed to him. The times I fed him dubias and let him roam he ran! And I mean ran around. Went up and down the stairs following me. He’d go to the window and sunbathe for a few then run away to the other side of house. He eats his salads daily if not two times a day and rarely he ate three. The few times he didn’t get any he didn’t want to explore. He didn’t want to do anything. My advice I need is do I HAVE to lower the amount of days when he’s one to a few times a week for dubias? Why exactly do they need to be cut down? Does every bearded dragon NEED to have protein cut down?

being young there diet is like 80% protien and 20% veg, then later 50% each then later like a year it should be 80% veg and 20% protien, it does like a lil flip lol and yes everyones dragon does but I think a few dubias like 2-3 times a week isnt bad if im correct

His size dictates when you cut protein back. As long as he is still growing feed protein, once he is at adult size and is just filling out, thats when you back it back.

The basking side of my tank isn't getting up to the suggested 100degrees. Does that mean I need to get a new basking light?
does her poop look healthy?
In your perspective does my baby bearded dragon look healthy or unhealthy? Does she look bloated? she is active and eats very well also she is in her basking spot all day
