Another way for you to fatten up your beardie would be to give it away to some one with more time. You obviously are not getting any enjoyment out of caring for that poor beardie. I find that feeding them and watching how big a healthy beardie will grow if cared for properly the most enjoyable thing about owning beardies. Find another person to care for it and you will know in your heart you did the best thing for him. Dragons if young should be eating a wide variety of insects and greens daily. Juvinile dragons should be fed tree times a day once in the morning being salad, and two feeding of crickets a day. I have some that eat 80 crickets a day. I doubt you are cleaning his cage or providing the proper lighting, or dusting his food with calcium because the easiest thing to do for it you are not doing, Feeding it!! It's so easy to order 1000 crickets for 9 bucks from www.reptilefood.com and throwing in dusted food before work and when you get home. Your working all those hours you must have the money to feed the poor dragon. I don't know how you could ask a question like this. Do you know how stupid it is. think about it. How do people gain weight? Did you really think there was any other way!?!?!
