Hi,
We have 4 beardies in our house. I will introduce them to you and then ask my question:
Fina is almost 14 months old. She was 17" and 382g when I weighed and measured her on Tuesday.
Samson is about 9 months old. He was 17" and 321g when he was weighed and measured on Tuesday. He was a rescue and was very small for his age and dehydrated when we got him at around 6 months old. He started out at 13" and 141g when we started weighing and measuring almost 2 months after we got him.
Clover was bought from Pet Smart just over a month ago. He was 5" and weighed 7g when I brought him home. I have NO idea how old he is. If anyone can help that would be great! He gets crickets twice everyday (dusted one of those feedings). He also has vegetables available all day. He is now 18g and 8" long.
Rosie is also about 9 months old and was in about the same state as Samson when we got her. She has gained 66g since we got her a couple of weeks ago.
Their temps are all measured with a digital thermometer with a probe and are all in good ranges. They all have reptisun 10.0 UVB tubes.
Now my question:
For about 3 weeks, I have been feeding the 3 larger dragons 10 superworms twice a day and they are dusted one of those feedings. I read in another post (I can't remember which one) that they should be getting only 5 superworms every other day. They are all still growing. I have cut back to 5 superworms twice a day instead of 10. They still get their salad mix all day which consists of collard greens, apple, grape and butternut squash all chopped up in a food chopper so that it will be small enough for Clover. Since they are all still growing, is it ok for them to still get the 10 superworms twice a day or is that too much? They are all having regular BM's and are bathed for 20 minutes everyday. Clover is bathed for 15 minutes everyday since he is so small.
Please help me with this so that I'm not doing something that may harm them!
Thanks,
Susan
