Hi Guys
I have just purchased two 6 week old Central Bearded Dragons. How many times a day should a 6 week old be eating?IThey love their crickets ( gutloaded ) and eat 5 each in a couple of mins.I do this twice a day is that enough? Also ,greens ,do I leave them to it and hope they will eat some as I have noticed they dry out quite quickly in the heated aquarium.
cheers.....Billy

Hi,

I normally feed 2~3 times a day. Put the veg in the cool side early in the morning then first feed around 10~10.30, another about 1~2.00 and a top up around 4.00 if they're still hungry. What temps are you running the enclosure at, basking and cool side? To keep the veg fresh you can give it a very light mist if it gets crispy looking.

Hi Rick

My temps are 40 deg at basking and 30 deg in cool...Is that too hot?
Cheers Billy

No your tempsare pretty good, so just moisten the veg a little when it's getting dry and crispy.
