So, this lady at a local petshop is saying we are overfeeding our dragons and they're basically fat.
Toothless is 6 months old (Maybe even 7, for all we know) and on a good day he will eat 30 or 40 crickets a day, like 20 roaches, a couple supers, and he'll nibble his salad. Now, that's on a day he's starving. On an average day, maybe 20 a day, 15 roaches(more if we offer them) he'll eat his worms no problem and still nibble his salad. He also picks at his BSFL throughout the day. He is 18 inches and right at 400 grams. He doesn't look fat, obviously but he's big, I know that. Are we over feeding them.? There are some days where he only eats maybe 10 crickets, or even 6, and will still eat a good amount of roaches. He never turns down roaches.
This lady says we can give him three hornworms and that's all needs to eat for the day. Can someone give me a better feeding schedule for a 6 month old.?
