What Crickets to feed a 3-Month-old Beardie

[XNoarmpitX]

My 3-Month-old beardie, Gary is doing fine but, he has been eating small crickets for 2 months now. I'm wondering, should I switch to another size or keep it at small. Also, I feed him about 30 small crickets each day at 4:45. Am I doing anything wrong?

I'd stick with small crickets for now. Keep them the size of the space between his eyes for a couple more months. I usually ordered 1/2'' crickets which are pretty small and gave them a few weeks of lifetime as they grow. 30 crickets is a decent amount but at his age I'd offer two meals if your schedule permits it. Offer all he wants for about 10 minutes a couple of times per day. His appetite will vary quite a bit so I'd focus on offering what he wants in those windows rather than a set number.

1/3 size crickets (12 - 15mm long) are about right for a 3 month old hatchling beardie. He'll likely gobble down 20 a day of this size (in 2 or 3 live feedings).
