fat beardies?????

[mr.spooky]

i would lay off the superworms a bit, they are a bit fatty. Have you weighed him recently and also how old is he? Young beardies should have a diet thats mostly protein based (meat.. crickets/roaches etc) and also salad, but as they get older you should feed less crickets/ meat and more salad.


while it is hard to tell what over weight might be for a beardie- this site may help you a bit... http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Growth.html


to me he looks happy and healthy (a fat beardie is a happy beardie )

hey,,, thanks for the link!!!! going by the length and the weight of the chart that you gave us,,, were about right! we just dident know. maby well cut down on the amount of supers that were feeding just to be safe. we have a dubia colony starting, so when we get a surplus,, well start feeding them those..
thanks again
