I am rather interested in the quantities some of you are saying particulary with the live feed, if I fed both Merlin and Guinevere 50 to 80 cricks each per day it would be costing me in the region of 20 euro a day plus veg. Average box of cricks are approx 40 and cost 5 euro multiply that for 4 boxes a day 7 days a week and its 140euro a week just for that. Somehow the numbers dont ring quite true.
Comment guys because either I am starving mine and need to get rid of them or there are some very very large Beardies out there.

I feed Wally (9 months) somewhere between 0 and 7 crickets a day. It really depends on what she's had.
I've read a lot of places (books, websites, a pamphlet our vet gave me) that as bearded dragons get older, you should be decreasing the amount of live food offered and go to mostly a salad and veggies, with animal matter (crickets, superworms, frozen/thawed mice) biweekly or less.
