Hi, how many crickets / locusts would a 3 month old beardie eat a day? Also how many times a day would you feed it?

When my beardie was 3 months i threw in a handful of crickets any that weren't eaten within 10 mins i removed. He ate between 9 and 12 crickets daily. I tried feeding twice a day but he just wasnt interested so i stopped. All beardies are different so id suggest seing how many he will eat in a 10 - 15 min sitting. Hope this helps

Mines around the same age and I put about 8 locusts in there every morning before I go to work and then I feed her about the same again when I get home from work, generally thats enough and there will be 1-2 left hopping around the viv but if she does eat them all then I put a couple more in for her.

Mines a greedy boy! He was doing 10-12 locust, two times a day, and now on about 15 twice a day. He would eat more if I let him though.
