hi hey i have another question how often do i soak the bearded dragon that is 3 or 4 months
and i have feeding question also i fed jessie three crickets this morning offer her some veg and grapes with peels off
but she ate one small leaf of a turnip green i fed her or him three more crickets this afternoon is that enough or do i need to feed more tonight

 

[richard]

i would soak twice a week. a young dragon is a ferocious eater. you generally want to feed them what they can eat in 10 to 15 min. a dragon your guys size should be able to eat 10 or 15 appropriately sized crickets twice a day and "salad"! the first year is extremely important as far as growth so you want to make sure they eat properly.

Cute little beardie,welcome to the forum! They grow fast and idk if its just mines but my little guys are both around 4 months as we'll and are like 8-10".

 

[bouncer36]

thank for the input i can't seem to get him or her to eat veg

 

[Strange_Evil]

Then try some diff veggies, mines have been eating there collard greens and squash from day one. I offer collard greens as a everyday staple with gut loaded crickets.

 

[bouncer36]

[Bill]
