He loves meal worms and keel, sometimes crickets. Not even going for the pinky. Very spoiled boy.

How often could you feed your Beardie pinkies? And how many should you feed them at a time?
What age did you start feeding them pinkies?My dragons love pinkies ,idk if yours are frozen or live but I buy frozen I then thaw them and use tweezers to dangle them ask if they were moving. My beardies for them every time!
I'm not so much worried about her calcium intake because she gets plenty with her crickets and dark greens. But thanks for the info. I'll pass on cutting up fuzzies.Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but pinkies arent a good source of calcium or other minerals yet. Calcium comes from bones in vertebrates, and pinkies have almost none. Its all cartilage at that point. They are good for lots of calories, and will have some calcium because their bellies are full of milk. If you want to give females a bump of calcium then you need to move up to at least fuzzies though. You can freeze them and cut them in half while they are still frozen (easier than doing so when they are thawed, trust me ) so that they are easier to feed.
