Well if they are tiny beardies...then anywhere from 6-12 in a sitting is about normal. At least it was that with Bob when he was tiny. Typically I offered him crickets about 3-4 times a day. When they are babies they are suppose to be offered as much as they want. Typically it is 80% protien and 20% greens. I think what you are doing is great.

Maybe you should just get the little one. This look often works on my husband I had to use that look several hours prior to him agreeing on me ordering a tegu.
