Beardie Feeding Question

ZippoBSquared Feb 16, 2004 12:07 PM

Approximately, how many crickets should an adult female beardie eat a day? My female never seems to stop eating and I wanted to know if they do stop. I don't want to under feed or over feed her. Thanks

beardies are freakin' bottomless pits. They won't stop. About 20 should be plenty, but be sure to give plenty plants too. And don't be afraid to change some crickets to silkworms or even a pinky mouse. hope that helps some.

No pinkies unless you breed and only AFTER laying eggs, an adult dragon should only have crickets 2-3 times a week and salads every day. You really should know this before getting a dragon.
