At what age is my beardie not a juvenile? He just turned a year old, still loves crickets and salads. Just wondering at what age will he eat less crickets? And as he gets older, does he need less protein or do I have to supplement it with some other form? Also, he scratches at the rug a lot, is this behavior okay or is there something wrong?
Thanks
Still a juvenile in first year or so, subadult from 18months (?) , adult if over 2 years old.
I base this on the gradient of their growth curves.
Their growth is pretty constant up til 18 months old, tapers off from about 18 months, and stops pretty much from 2 yrs old.
Others might do different to me , but
babies => 3 live insect meals per day
from 3 months => 2 live insect meals per day
from 1 year old => 1 live insect meal per day .... I continue this into adulthood, but reduce the number of bugs per day and up the greens from 2 years old.
