When to transition from 3x/day to 2x/day?

At what age is it best to transition from cricket feeding three times a day to twice? Pascal is roughly 2 1/2 months old and gets offered crickets in a separate container 3 times a day. At what point does this become overfeeding?

It kind of depends on what he wants. I always just offered 2 bug meals and a salad per day but 3 is OK too, especially for a young dragon. Their appetites tend to fluctuate but drop off quite a bit as they approach full size. If he starts ignoring a third meal I'd stop offering it. At around 12 months (ish) I'd offer 1 meal per day and over the next 6 months gradually move to every other day and then every third day or so for the bugs while offering plenty of salad which by about 18-24 months should be about 80% of the overall diet.

IMO you cant overfeed a very young hatchling like your's , he'll not be interested in the bug if he's full.

Try transitioning to two per day, he'll beg for more if he's hungry at the time he's no longer being offered bugs . The beardie will tell you.
