Should I limit feeders to under weight beardies?

[kellys5babies]

They are eating there salads but I have been limiting their protein because I don't want them to get sick. Can I let them have as many as they want if they are under weight? I have one that I can see the tail bone. I need to measure him but he is so spazy i can not get a good measurement.

There is next to no fat in any salad. If they are underweight then you shouldn't limit them. If they start overeating cut back, but not by much.

OK Bobble head (yes the kids named him) LOL> Is eating like mad. He is going through cricket, Meal worms and was worms like crazy. He is also eating some chicken baby food. He eat 20 crickets and 75 meal worms and 10 wax I had left and this was with in the 10 minute feeding limit. He is starting to add on some weight. He is still eating his salads but I am wondering if he is a lot younger then a year and half I was told. He is about 12 inch so hard to measure as he does not hold still long. Is this too much for him? He is pooping fine 2 times a day. I just dont want to over feed him in the protein area.

No mealworms. They can impact beardies.
Waxworms are fatty, limit them to about 2-3 a day max.
Bobby should have access to as many crickets as he will eat.
If you want to feed worms get some butter worms or silk worms.
