    Question When to feed an ADULT bearded dragon?

    Me and my freind CoolioTiffany are in a little "debate" at the moment LOL

    we have both been told by different people, when to feed an ADULT beardy(we are talking about bugs, not salad. salad should be fed every single day).

    she has been told that adults over 18 months need to be fed as many bugs as they can eat in one sitting a day, every other day, dusted with calcium powder.also, that superworms can be fed as a 100% staple diet for protein. based on what he told her, this is the feeding schedule she came up with:

    -Feed protein every other day
    -Dust superworms with calcium powder
    -Offer as many superworms the Beardie can eat in one sitting
    -Only feed the Beardie the protein once in the day, every other day
    -Dust superworms with Herptivite once a week


    now i have been told on the bearded dragon forum, that .adults over 18 months should be fed every day.They shouldn't be fed superworms as a 100% staple, they should be fed as a semi staple with crickets or roaches as the other protein.Dust the foood with calcium 2 days a week, and the herptivite 1 day a week. and that you are supposed to .feed ~40 bugs a week. which comes out to 5 or so every day. feed protein one sitting every day.based on that info, this is the schedule i came up with:

    Feeding schedule: Feed 5 bugs per day/ ~40 bugs per week
    Monday-Superworms-w/Calcium
    Tuesday-Crickets
    Wednesday-Superworms-w/Calcium
    Thursday-Crickets
    Friday-Superworms
    Saturday-Crickets-Herptivite
    Sunday-Superworms


    who is right? or are we both right?or are we both wrong?
