Hello!
Since yesterday we are proud owners of a bearded dragon - and despite we did quite an amount of literature research, the feeding overwhelms us a bit.
Our little dragon is about 12-14cm (almost 5 inches) long and weighs 9grams. He should be around 2 months old.
We are feeding desert locusts, they are about as long as my girlfriends thumb is thick - and she has quite a normal thumb i would say.
Additionally, he got a little bit of dandelion or dasies in the morning - and there’s always some dandelion lying in is food bowl.
At the moment, we are planning on feeding him daily with one day without (living) food per week. In about two months we will reduce the food-days to around 4 days per week, while he will always have access to greens.
Is this suitable? We are absolutely unsure about the number of locusts per day.. we fed him two today and yesterday. Less or more?
Best wishes,
Eric, Kathrin and “Eddie”
