ok first off lemme introduce myself:
my name is brian and i work at petco...
i have a leopard gecko, baby veiled cham, a golden gecko, a northern leopard tree frog, a quaker parakeet, 2 hermit crabs, a dog a cat and a kitten.... and as of today i have a bouncing sub-adult beardie (yay!)..
ok so heres my question:
i got my new beardie today.. he looked a bit thin.. maybe not fed enough by breeder, idk? anywho.. i got maybe like 12-24 small crickets (idk the exact # because i asked for 12 but there were deffinetly more than that, being someone who bags crix on a daily basis i know that just dont know the exact... most likley closer to 24!) i dusted them and tossed em in, i keep my crix well fed and gut loaded so im not worried about throwing too many in... but my dragon went ape **** like he had never eaten anything in his life!!!!!!!!!!!! he proceeded to hunt down and eat ever single cricket that he could find...
as far as i cant tell he got em all!!!! is this normal? for a sub adult to eat roughly 24 sm crix in less than 2 mins... i mean he prolly ate his weight in crix!!?!?!?! now hes got a buddah belly and hes basking trying to digest it all. he looks fine and no worries.. just wondering ive been looking online for like an hour now to find out approx how many crix to feed at a time and how often?
in short: how many crix at a time and how often do you feed bearded dragons? also can you over feed?
and last but not least my buddy feeds his beardies eeder fish now again...is this ok? i was thinking about doing it as i tend to feel bad for the fuzzies..and have no remorse for fish..he throws a minoe or two in the water dish for the dragon to fish out at his liesure. any one ever heard of this and is i t ok?
thanx for all your help... sorry its so long....
