Hey ppl,
My beardie is about 4 and a half months old, how much should i be feeding him now? Should i be reducing it? He's a pig and growing quite a gut so i'm worried about over feeding.

He did 2 big poops today which got rid of a bit of the bloatedness. Maybe thats what was giving him a big gut? I feed him about twice a day, as many crickets as he can get in about a 10 minute period. At least once a week he'll munch on a few silk worms in a day he loves those. And of course fresh veggies everyday. Sound about right? I think i may be a bit paranoid about it coz im a first time mum. But I would like to know the norm amount to feed him so i can keep him happy. |

I would stick to your current feeding schedule...

mine are now about 10 months and i fed em as much as they could eat well they actually ate till there was none left haha
