about how many crickets do beared dragons eat a week?

Answer 1

The same number as dragging bears do.

Answer 2

Depends on the age of the beardy. A younger dragon will actually eat more than an adult will. A dragon that is under a year should be fed as many as he can eat(crickets should be no bigger then the space between the dragon's eyes)in 15 minutes and do that 3 times per day. don't forget to also always have their salad available. By salad I do not mean anything with the word lettuce in it since lettuces offer little to no nutritional value and often cause diarrhea which could easily dehydrate them. After they reach a year then you should start to slowly cut back on the crickets until you are feeding them 3-5 times per week only (again, as much as they can eat in 15 minutes). Don't forget to supplement with vitamins and calcium too.
To more accurately answer your question since you are asking for a number of how many, for babies to juvies it can be over 100 crickets per day and for adults it may be 100 per week. Not every beardy is the same though and since they grow at different rates they will also eat at different rates too. The size of the cricket will also be a factor in the number eaten as they will eat less of larger crickets but just make sure that no cricket is bigger then the space between the dragons eyes or it could choke or become impacted.

Answer 3

Baby bearded dragons need to be fed as many crickets as they can eat in a 10-15 minute period three times a day. They can easily pack away 50-100 crickets a DAY. They will not gorge themselves on food, and stop eating when they are full. As a dragon ages it's food requirements shift, a full grown adult only needs it's diet to be roughly 20% protein and 80% veges.

Answer 4

I would have to say that it is amazing that some of the other readers above have living bearded dragons. They should be fed 2-3 times daily what they can eat in about 8 minutes. and the cricket count gets lower as an adult down to every other day. They should also be offered collard greens not lettuce daily.

Answer 5

Depends on the age, size, sex, temp and amount of fruits/veggies and/or staple food given. My girl who's about 16 inches long now can polish away 20 silk worms (a rare treat) or easily 75 crickets in a week if she doesn't get anything else that week. Nor will she take anything else that week. Usually she has various fruits, veggies and staple food available all the time and takes about 20-30 crickets away and 5 superworms in a week. Hope that helps. My girl's fave foods are cucumbers, silk worms, and I found out by accident, peaches and yogurt. ( I left it on the floor when she was out and I got up to answer the phone, I turned back around and she laying in the yogurt bowl eating it and ate a lot of my peach. No, she didn't get sick.)

Answer 6

I give my juvenile dragon 35 large gut loaded crickets a week. This is supplemented by mealworms, dragon pellets, leafy greens and occasional fruit. I take him out for 30 minutes of exercise 5 times a weeks. I have him run sprints for about 20 minutes. Then I have him do pushups and situps to exhaustion. For relaxation, I let him watch 30 minutes of television. He really likes that show Deal or No Deal. We play a game amongst ourselves called Cricket, or no Cricket. It's quite fun playing with him. He is quite a rascal.

Answer 7

a million. a 35 gal is a the type to small for even a million beardie!! no longer to point 2!!! seperate them immediatly. 2. there is in all probability a super sort of dominance matters if he's only ingesting one, so as quickly as lower back, seperate them NOW!!! Bearded dragons are solitary animals and only come jointly in the wild to mate. mealworms are poor for any beardie, so toss those. one greater ingredient, considering the fact that u only have been given him a week in the past, he could be getting used to his new domicile. provide him yet another week. wish I helped!

Answer 8

bearded dragons diets should be varied crickets are a great source of nutrients but don't forget to dust them with calcium. meal worms wax worms and of course veggies. someone hear had a great idea that is working for me.. finely chop your veggies and mix them with your meal worms. this is much harder with crickets though. you can store crickets in a 10 gal aquarium for about 10 bucks keep a cut potato and some lettuce with them gut load them if you can there are various products out there. buy 2 dozen put half in the tank and use the example given earlier count the left overs but this will change as they get bigger. good luck and have fun.

Answer 9

I have a beardie that is about 3 weeks old and she eats about 6 a day making that 42 a week, then I have my big boy he is six months old, he eats about 20 - 40 a day excluding his other foods which means anything from 140 - 280 a week

Answer 10

Put twelve in with them on Monday and see how many are there on Friday...it all depends on the size of the dragon and the size of the crickets...my box turtles would just eat all they found...

Answer 11

I feed my beadrie as much as i want usally 16 crickets a day. but mine is like 3 months.
