[QUOTE="HyperLollipop, post: 2014614, member: 117268"] When in October was he 6 weeks old? We brought Herman home on October 19th and the pet store told us he was around 2 months old so I guess he could've been a bit younger than that, which is why he's not as big as your Neo. We feed Herman twice a day, and he eats 10-20 crickets each time. We don't feed him mealworms because we heard those can cause impaction in young bearded dragons, but after some further reading I realized that crickets also have a hard exoskeleton (like the mealworms) and he hasn't gotten impacted yet, plus he's already around 5 months old so technically he's a juvenile and not a baby, so we might start getting him mealworms soon. The problem is I HATE worms, so the idea of having them in my house kind of grosses me out... though I guess we can keep them on the porch for now since it's cold outside. We also like to have greens available at all times, though I don't always remember to put them in his cage until I get home about 3:30pm. The greens we feed are dandelion greens and collard greens, though we've been wanting to try mustard greens as well. I haven't measured Herman in a while but he's probably around 12 inches long, and I don't have a food scale so I can't measure him, but I think he has quite a bit of healthy chub on him. [/QUOTE]
