My bearded dragon is now 10 weeks old and has started eating quite readily.
Salad is still quite challenging, but my partner has been able to get it to start eating salad a little more frequently through making cute cricket wraps out of kale - Yum!
I did our weekly/fortnightly weigh in, and he's at 51g, and sometimes when he's on his log you can see he's getting quite the belly.
He looks normal weight when he's walking around and is a lot more active now - stress marks also seem to be disappearing too.
My question is; should I start withholding a meal or 2 a day? Go from 2-3 feedings to 1 or 2?
According to a resource I was looking at for healthy weight ranges, at 10 weeks (2.3mths) he should only be around the 25-50g mark - and even that's pushing it.
The resource says 3-4 months 50-100g, 1-2 months 15-25g.
I think he's reached his maximum length, so is it okay to keep feeding him as I have been and he'll just grow in to himself?
Thanks
