Eating frenzy!

[JimmyBearded]

Hi guys,
My beardies have gone from eating maybe 10 crickets a day to maybe 30 in a week!
I think its because its the second week I have had them so they are gets an eating pattern established. Also they have had their first shed(Or are at least in the process). Maybe I need bigger crickets? or are they just making up for not eating many the past week?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks guys

I presume you mean they now have 30 a day!

Quite normal! Keep the crickets to the size of the distance between their eyes. Beardies are not cheap to feed when they are growing - I remember buying up to 5 boxes of crickets a week for Shrek and Fi when they were youngsters! Keep on giving them as much as they will eat in 10 minutes three times a day until they are 12 weeks old, then reduce to twice a day. Don't worry about the number, just the timings.

And make sure you don't run out!

Ok will do thanks. I presume that means that I cant over feed them then, as long as they are fed 3 times a day.
