When i had my beardy the reptile shop guy said to feed him 10-15 brown crickets twice a day. The crickets seem quite big for the size of my beardy!!!! It seems an awful lot for my little spike to consume!!!!

you should feed crickets that are no bigger then the distance between the eyes of your beardie. if its a young dragon you should feed him all he can eat in a 10 to 15 minute period 3 times a day in a separate tank to stop the crix from hiding ang nibbling on your beardie after lights out. dust the crikets once a day with calcium powder and twice a week with vittamins hope this helps you lee
