Hi guys I got my beardie 4-5 days ago. I got him like a day before school started back. What I usually do now is leave basking light from 6AM - 6PM everyday. I have to wake up at 6AM to get ready for school. When I wake up he is usually still asleep. I usually got school from 8-3 and job from 3-6:30.
I was wondering is there a way I can feed him crickets around 6:30 PM? I leave bearded dragon food in a bowl in there 24/7. It is pellets you buy from pet stores and i'll usually put some vegetables in there as well. Can he eat them until I get home?
I read from the Internet that it is a good idea for maximum digestion to feed your dragon: 1 hour in basking light BEFORE feeding, 2 hours in basking light AFTER feeding
He doesn't go to bed until 9-10.
P.S. If it helps, he is a juvenile... probably 2-3+ months old. I purchased him from PetSmart.
Thanks everyone!
