How much do I feed a 1 year old beardie?

[KaotikJezta]

Damn, gunna have to cut down their food. The male is going to be PISSED haha, cheeky bugger he is.

Does anyone do the "10 min rule" ie. let them eat as much as they can in 10 mins?
I know for sure mine would easy smash 50+ crickets each in that time. They finish their 15 or so each in about 2 mins flat

 

[KaotikJezta]

No, never done that as mine would be the same as yours

Cool, thanks for the help KaotikJezta

Wow, it's interesting reading how much more is involved in keeping lizards than snakes.

 

[KaotikJezta]

I think they are way more involved. Snakes are easy. Lizards are as well, just more time consuming.

Yeah the most involved part with a snake is getting their habitat setup, the rest of the issues are really about the snakes personality and attitude regarding being handled etc. All this stuff about the vitamins and calcium and diet variation needs a lot more thought, I just never realised it was even an issue before now.

Doesnt it just make you want to keep some cute beardies? I have found keeping lizards MUCH more rewarding than keeping snakes. Mind you i love my snakes and would always keep them

You guy's make it all too complicated.
I only feed my central an all-in-one feed from Vetafarm.

Before work:
Pour feed into a dish, wet it, offer it.
After work:
take out dish, clean it. Done.

Occasionally I feed her a few dusted crix to give her something to chase.
But usually just once a month.

That is not what I consider a good diet for lizards, it is mainly cereal. As stated, the only lizard food that is halfway decent is jurassidiet. Besides, it is said you can live on baked beans but would you want to.

Thanks to everyone for the comments, I was wondering how do you know if a bearded dragon is overweight?
