How much crickets does my beardie need

[Draco_is_awesome]

Hi, I have a bearded dragon and this august he's 1 year old I wanna know how much crickets I should be feeding him and what new exotic things he should eat, thx

Black soldier fly larvae and silk worms are the best thing they can eat hornworms to

I feed as many crickets they want to eat in a 15 min time frame. My little one will eat 15-20. My older one will eat 8 (on a good day). I feed mine super worms, they LOVE them!

If your going to feed crickets order them from a good supplier don't get them from a pet store they have been known to have problems

 

[PatsyB]

It's also more economical to buy in bulk from a supplier.

This is true great place to order from is is greatlakehornworm.com they have real good prices on crickets

Like Patsy, I would feed as many as he'll eat within a 10-15 min time span. I would also feed phoenix worms, superworms, and dubia roaches to vary his diet. You'll see better growth rates and a healthier animal overall.

Frozen blueberries works just as well, maybe better. I put a few frozen ones in a little bit of water and microwave for 30 seconds then rinse with cold water to cool them off.

Yes frozen fruit and veggies are fine as long as it's unthawed. I've had luck with blueberries and mangos. Strawberries tend to be very mushy and gross when you unthaw them.
