bearded dragon food intake?

[bluetongue]

Hey, I was wondering if someone could give me an accurate answer to this question, I was wondering how many bugs baby, juvenile bearded dragons should be fed per feed I know people say how many they will eat in 10 mins, but that would be a lot of bugs and basically im just trying to figure out costs of feeding bearded dragons as I'm interested in getting some in the near future, thank you

A young hatchy up to about 12-16 weeks old should be fed around 10-12 appropriate size "bugs" 3 times a day. Cut that back to 15-20 twice a day from around 4 months to 12 months. I find this is the best way to keep them "interested" in live foods for the first 12 months of their lives. After that they should be on more greens than bugs but still feed them to them once a day.

by bugs you mean: crickets and woodies

Good ratio is 80% bugs 20% greens then when they are older 80% greens 20% bugs
