The general recommendation for baby beardies to a year is all they can eat in ten minutes three times a day plus salad, and I'd say that each could knock down 10-20 crx per feeding. As they grew, that amount would increase. They had lighter periods, but ate that way for the most part until after they were a year old. Then they need to be fed prey every day until 18 months. If you don't feed them this way, they probably won't reach maximum growth potential and could suffer from bone problems.

I'll just feed these babies every day and remove the uneaten crix at the end of the day. They weren't fed every day where they came from, and I lost 5 out of seven either before they arrived or just after.
