I have started doing that.. as i was getting peed off throwing food away they love it just cant get my beardie to eat it. i even mixed a bit of Fig in with her greens, she went mad for the fig and left the greens, shes not thick, just got to remember she can only have a little bit.

We just got two beardies, about 6 weeks old and although the will devour locusts within seconds, they have hardly touched any greens. They get a small fresh pile of it about twice a day but will usually only take a small bite of it.

Gonna try with crickets over the next few days. How many would you feed and how often for two 6week olds

i was thinking this about adult beardies.
How many Crickets or locust or worms should i be giving my beardie each day....

mine will just eat and eat and im sure he'll burst (New beadie arrived yesterday)
and i dont want to feed him to much i know locust are fatty for them. on the other hand i dont want to be calling him a little fatty and im starving him.

so am i giving him 6, 8, 10 or 20 crickets a day. + a bowl of veg.

hi there

you cant over feed a baby there growing

for the first 10 to 12 months of there life give them as much as thay will eat

just make sure you feed a mixed live food diet not to much of one type of food

at least 4 to 6 diffrent live foods

and 4 to 6 diffrent types of veg

lots of calcium and vits

Default Bearded Dragon Food

Can anybody with Beardies give me a list of a good balanced diet they have found to work?!? There seems to be so many different food options!
Thanks
