Default How to feed?

Question, when feedin my Beardies either Locust or Crickets, should I tip in the whole box and let the Beadies hunt for them at their own leisure, or only put in a certain amount at a certain time to make sure it's balanced?

I only got the Bearded Dragons last night so I'm totaly new to this! They came with loads of salad though, which they rarely touch =]

If they are little, then put in say 5 at a time, once they have eaten those then add another 5, let them eat them and so on until they won't eat any more. For the first 6-12 months, you should be doing this twice per day.

Any excess crickets will stress out beardies, as well as possibly nibbling on them during the night if the crickets get hungry.

The crickets also need to be dusted, so it isn't simply a case of "tipping them in"...
