So with a yo g adult bearded dragon how many large roaches do you feed them? Can you overfeed them? Or just more each time? Bud is at 6 and of course his greens.

6 isnt bad, mine will do maybe 4 large ones, no more. When you consider the mass of a large dubia compared to the small ones, thats not a bad amount I think. If fed the right types of food I dont think its possible to overfeed them, but its something I worry about too. If your beardie starts looking too fat you can just put it on a diet, cut out some of the beardie junkfood ie ,worms.

Hmm I question myself also at points, I toss Iike anywhere from 6-10 roaches at a time 4 Times a week and both devour all and look for more lol so at that point I’ll give them worms at the end of the week, no more then 6 each. This is also with their salads. Neffy loves her salads.....Cleo.. not so much.

Mine, when they will eat dubia, will usually eat about 4 and then they are done. But you can visually tell if your dragon is eating too much and cut back if needed.

My little guy usually eats about 4 large ones and it's pretty obvious when he's finished. He just becomes disinterested and won't really go after them anymore.
