she could be about 3 months, every dragon has a different growth rate.

as for crickets, well it depends on where you are, i advise you order from a place that is relativly close, i use www.americancricketranch.com they are so great and i have never been disappointed. I received my last order and it was damaged and had a lot of die offs, they promptly sent me another 1000 crickets no questions asked they are in san diego CA

thanks reiko, i will check them out.
i am in MA if anyone knows of any others.

my dragon also eats adult crickets! he does a really great job of chewing them up! the pet shop i got them from told me they do fine with them... he has been breeding dragons for a real long time and his beardeds look awesome, located in nashua NH.

i would be very careful with feeding too large of prey items, be sure they are no longer then the space between her eyes, you dont want to risk impaction with your little girl, it can cause paralysis and even death. as far as cricket suppliers, go to the forum search and see what ya find, or just scroll down, i think they posted a few just yesterday or the day before..

This is who we use and William has been great to deal with. 90% of the orders are in great shape, occasionally there are problems and he's overnighted re-shipments for me without so much as a question. Always helpful and is great. I am located on the east coast and have had no problems with delivery.
