Opinions on what vet told me yesterday with regard to feeding

[MyMojoJojo]

Took Blaze to vet for well-check and fecal yesterday. He was hatched 4/20 and is 194 grams.
The vet said I should cut back on dubia (he eats 5/8 inch ones; about 20 each daily, dusted with Repashy Calcium Plus). He also gets a few BSF larvae first thing in a.m. He has been stubborn with his greens, but loves yellow squash, yellow peppers and the occasional blueberry. I’m working on introducing a variety of greens. i sprinkle bee pollen on his salad.

I thought at his age he should be eating more protein but vet said every day is too much. I think he’s going to be a big boy. Haven’t measured his length.

As a side note, he’s in a 4x2x2. Arcadia t5 12% 24”. Basking spot around 110, middle is 85 and cool end is 78-80.

His vet is well-known and popular with exotics here in So Cal.

Just looking for your opinions.
picture attached for attention. Lol

Yes, that’s what I said too. Shocked he would say that about a nearly 4 month old dragon. Thank you for your response Karrie. I completely agree.

It is amazing that some reptile vets do not know a lot about what they medically care for -

I would agree it's too much. It's a long video but I'd suggest watching an interview with the Beardie Vet. He has done the most up to date research on wild bearded dragons. It is a really good long form video on basically everything he found in his research. He talks about diet amongst nearly everything else in the video and based on his research, it seems like most are overfeeding bearded dragons.
