Hi. I have a 5 month old beardie. I was wondering when do I switch him to 30-50 feeders a week?? I know that you are supposeed to switch them when they are adults but I don't know when my beardie will become an adult. Do they become an adult when they reach a certain lench or age??

I'm pretty sure they start switching near about a year-year and a half. Though if you can get your beardie to like greens, they won't eat as MANY crickets (still alot though).

Ok thanks. My beardie loves his greens. As I'm putting his bowl back in his cage, he jumps on my hand and tries to eat them lol! :laughing6: :laughing6:

That is correct. At about 1 years old they start to slow down on thier eatting, but for most of them you do have to coax them down on the feeders, they tend to remain little piggies if you dont limit the intake. So at about on years just start to slowly taper down. It took me till about 1 year 6 months to get Judah down to around 40 per week. Now at 2 years of age he eats about maybe 20 per week if that...sometimes more sometimes less. Once they reach that age you are able to let them choose how much they want to eat, with out worrying about them over doing it.
