Eating Habits

Hi,

Just wanted to know your opinions. My beardie 13'' and growing like a weed (5 months old). He was small when I got him. He's put on 4.5'' in the last month. I've been feeding him a big bowl of fresh mustard, collard, dandelion, and a few little pieces of Romaine (for water), twice a day. He eats between 20-30 crix a day. Is this ok? Should I be feeding him more? His temps are fine from what of I've read on here.

thanks

If there is no food left overnight, feed him more. If you have the resources feed him as much live protien that he can eat at least once, maybe 2 times a day for his age. He seems to be thriving on what you're giving him now if your seen substantial size increases.
