He used to eat 50-80 1/4" dubia or crickets a day.
Now he's eating 3/4" to 1" dubia. He'll eat 10-12 a day. Now we have 'mixed' sized dubia, anywhere from 1/4" to 1 1/4". He'll eat them all...and some phoenix worms to boot. I know overall these dubia are more than 3-4 times the size of the 1/4" feeders. Kinda like a 20" beardie isn't 4 times the size of a 5" little guy....it's more like 10 times bigger, ore more.
He no longer attacks his feeders like he used to, so it's hard to tell if he's really eating enough. He'll eat one or two, and move on. 30 minutes later, he'll have one or two more.
Is this normal behavior? Just wanted to know from other more experienced owners, what there dragons are/were like at this size/age. (16" L, ~6months old.) How much did they eat when they moved up to larger prey?
Thanks! Cheers!
