When my beardie was a baby, she ate nothing but crickets. 25 a day was not unusual. They have voracious appetites and if you have more than one together they may even end up cannabalizing each other if y ou don't feed them enough.



Growing bodies. Nothing to worry about. As they mature they will want to eat greens. Older they get, more greens, less meat.



My beardie is 2 years old, and I give her nothing but 3 crickets a day. And greens. She is quite plump.



Make certain the size of the crickets is no larger than the distance between its eyes. The babies CAN get impacted easily.



Keep the basking spot about 95 to 100 degrees F. The rest of the area about 85 degrees. They thrive on UV and incondescent lights. The lights are as essential as food itself. Better yet let them have about 15 minutes of sunlight every morning (best on your person, or at the very least in a protective cage and no contact with the grass.
