You need a scale that weighs in grams.. I got a scale from Bed Bath and Beyond.. It's the biggest loser scale.. U can probably find one at walmart or target.. Just to give u an idea.. Scarlett, my beardie, hatched on Oct 2nd.. She's 3 months old and she's about 9" long and weighs about 30 grams.. Like i said though every beardie is different but maybe that will kinda give u some idea..

No Prob! Well the rule of thumb is let them eat as much as they can in 10 minutes.. 10-12 doesn't sound like enough.. Scarlett usually eats about 25-30 in one feeding.. Her lights come on @ 6am and then about 7:00am I will put her greens in there.. (you should offer greens everyday) She will usually eat a few of those b/c she is hungry and then about 7:30 before I leave for work I will put her crickets in there.. I also buy the reptiworms which you can use as a staple to give her some variety.. If you can only get yours to eat about 10-12 at one time then u can get some reptiworms and leave some in his bowl when you leave... Then I feed her again when I get home about 6:00... Make sure that you are only feeding him crickets the size b/t his eyes and also another important thing is to make sure that before you feed him that he has had time to warm up and bask for at least an hour or so and then at night make sure he has enough time to bask for at least hour to two hours before the lights go off.. This is very imperative for digestion.. Make sure you dust one feeding per day with calcium and 2x a week multi vitamins..

Chewy looks cool.

Dragons should eat as much as they want in a 10-15 minute period 2X a day - some can mow down upwards of 40-50 crickets in each sitting. Be sure to dust one meal of crickets a day with calcium powder, 5 days a week. the other 2 days, dust with vitamin supplements. You should offer him a variety of live feeders - as a baby that should be crickets, reptiworms, and small dubia roaches. No mealworms.
You need to offer him salad everyday, whether he eats it or not. He will eventually recognize it as food and eat it. When he's an adult, he should eat 80% vegetation, and 20% protein. As a growing baby, it's 80% protein, and 20% vegetation. Offer greens as a daily staple (collard, mustard greens, or chard), along with various veggies to add color and variety. A guide to acceptable food and frequency can be found here: http://www.beautifuldragons.503xtreme.com/Nutritionframeset.html

Mine is 6.5 mos old, 16" long, and weighs 249 grams. I weigh her on a food scale that weighs in grams. You can buy online from amazon or get from local bed, bath, beyond or walmart (maybe?). She eats 40 crickets in the AM, along with 15 reptiworms, and a salad, and in the evening, eats another 40 crickets (these are 3/8" to 1/2" in size).

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
