my babies were eating about 50 roaches over 2 feeds a day, till i started giving them silk moths fro breaky, now they refuse roaches fro breaky and get 2 silk moths each (theyre huge compared to the litte beardy heads, but soft so the size rule doesnt matter that much) , and have about 20-30 roaches @ night.

i make them a salad every morning which they eat a fair bit of,...some days even most of it, that consists of finely chopped 'asian salad greens' from coles, butternut pumpkin and green beans.

i dont feed mine crickets cos my last beardies got parasites from them and i'm not gonna risk that this time round. (btw, i still have my last beardies, that made it sound like they died)

if ur beardy wont eat more and starts going down hill, mush up some beardy pellets in warm water, add a bit of baby food and use a syringe to drop food on its nose while it licks it off.

oh yeah, and like rocky said dust all bugs in calcium every day.

do u have a UVB light fro it?
how close can it get?
what are the basking temps?
is the tank well lit?
