Good evening guys/ girls.
My name is Jamie. I just bought a bearded dragon and hes pretty awesome. He's the first pet I've ever owned and I very much want to be a good father. So I'm trying to figure out best way to get his feeding schedule down for best health and growth. Only downside is my work schedule has me leaving at 5 in the am and returning at 5ish in the afternoon on Monday Friday. Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday I have class so I don't return til 8 to 9ish. Usually off Saturday and Sunday. So at the moment im just giving him about 8 crickets and a pinch of collard greens, mustard greens, and carrots all cut up small at about 430 am. I have his lights set to come on at 7 am and turn off at about 9pm. When I return from work he's eaten his greens but most crickets are still not eaten. Last night I put him in front of some crickets and he ate 4 more out of the 7 left so he ate 5 total yday. But last night I didn't have school so I had time to make him eat more before bedtime. Tonight will be different and im not sure how long before bed he should eat more crickets. Basically my question is what should I do to keep him on a healthy diet whilst maintaining a 80% cricket to 20% greens diet.
Experienced input would be most welcomed.
Also I do apologize for the novel I hope it isn't unbearable to read.
O and btw hes 5in long and I've had him since Friday night.
