What age to start feeding less bugs more veggies?

[terrims313]

Hi,
I am pretty new to beardie care still trying to figure things out. I got 2 babies about 3 months ago from a pet store and I totally forgot to ask if they knew the DOB.

I understand as babies they are to get bugs everyday, as well as veggies. Once they get older they do not need bugs everyday, and more veggies than bugs?? I am wondering how long is it recommended to feed bugs everyday? When is it recommended to lower the bug consumption?

Thanks so much for your help in advance!

It is based more on size and growth rate rather than exact age. It varies between dragons. Generally they reach full size between about 12-18 months so that's when I'd start trying to move them more to veges. It can be a gradual transition and it's easier with some dragons than with others.
