If you are talking about my post of feeding 20 crickets to my adults, I was feeding small crickets not larger ones, And silk worms. I am not using silk worms anymore, so they are getting the larger crickets now. I fed the small ones just to have them chase something and get their workout. So as long as you are feeding good veggies then your cricket count is fine.

Kale is bad for beardies in large quantities, for the same reasons as spinach. Try collard greens, escarole, dandelion greens or swiss chard instead. Also, a little more variety will provide a more rounded nutrient-rich diet.
