My baby beardie (2 mo old) is eating up his food I just want to know if its enough. I give him 10 small dubies 2 times a day and 5 dubies + 1 worm once a day.
Thanx Edd

OK, but what about them being no bigger then the space between there eyes?Move up sizes. That what I had to do. My guy when thought 600 small in 3 weeks.

COOL Thanx that helped cuz ITs healthy/active/alert......just a little pig!As long as the width is no bigger than the space between the eyes it should be fine. Dubia are pretty filling so I think you have a good routine going on. If he seems like he is still hungry though, I would give a bit more. When mine were little I fed them crickets and gave them as many as they wanted in a 10 min period. With crickets they ate about 70 a day. People say 1 dubia is equal to about 8 crickets, so you can do the math there LOL!
Pretty colors & pettern....The size I'm feeding

This little thing hasnt been eating any fruit or veggies that I can tell. I change out every morning and make sure there choped small enough. I change what kind I give too right now its spinach and grapes.If he wants more, feed him more. They are eating machines when they are little! Mine was easily eating 50+ insects (dubia or crickets) daily plus his greens. They grow SO FAST you don't really have to worry about obesity at that age. Mine went from hand sized to longer than my forearm in about 6 months.
Don't worry about them not eating the greens and veggies as when they are little they need the protein WAY more as they are growing like crazy.. Just keep offering greens daily..This little thing hasnt been eating any fruit or veggies that I can tell. I change out every morning and make sure there choped small enough.

So do you feed only dubias or do you rec mixing in some different worms for the juveniles?Yep if they want more go for it when they are no longer hungry they stop..At that age you really can't feed them too much especially if they are really active. BTW beautiful coloring!!
Ok cool. I'll be ordering insects soon. Gonna get a variety. ..dubias, nutrigrubs, and supers. I've got 2 more weeks til we get our new dragon! Waiting cuz we have a couple of weekend vacays!I give mine dubia, supers treats are waxworms, butterworms and when i buy phoenix worms..

So we have had Puff for 2 days now. I think he should be eating more than he is but he ate more today than he did yesterday so I guess that's good? We think he ate some yellow pepper. Not sure if he is touching the dandelion. He ate 2 superworms one the first day and now won't touch them. He eats 4-5 roaches twice a day.

If he's eating dubia that is fantastic as they don't need as many since they are way more nutritious than other bugs, if he's pooping ok, acting ok, basking ok....then I would just see how things go. These creatures will keep you on your toes and will do all sorts of things to freak us out sigh...I now have a 2yo and a 1 1/2 yo and they still freak me out).... Hang in there I wouldn't worry yet. Got any pictures?Ok. So Puff has been eating 3-5 dubias twice a day depending on size. Today, he's not interested at all but still lively and moving about. Am I jist being a paranoid momma or should I be concerned? !
