Answer 1

Feed your dragons ad lib 3 times a day until they are about 6 months old. One dragon alone can eat upwards of 50-100 crickeats easily in a day. Younger dragons you want to supplement with calcium 5 days a week (I reccomend repcal with D3) and multivitamins 2 days a week (repcal herpivite). As they age you'll need to supplement less, those guide lines are often found on the bottle in the instructions. Crickets are great staples, you can also try Phoenix Worms or Silk Worms. The great thing with Phoenix Worms is that they are have a very high Ca:P ratio, you dont have to dust them with calcium because they are so rich in it. They arent good staples for older dragons to their size being so small. Silk worms are really finnicky and die off easily, not to mention they require their own level of care to keep them alive and need special food, kind of a hassle.

As the dragons get older their diet will shift from 90% protein (live feeders) and 10% veges to 20% protein and 80% veges. So after a couple years you only need to feed them maybe 20 crickets once or twice a week.

Make sure you feed them seperately so they both get their even share of food :D

Answer 2

Young beardies always eat all they can. This is because they grow very rapidly.The important thing to remember is to make sure you supplement every feed with calcium. Add a multivitamin every 5 or six days. When they're big enough try them with pinkie mice. The calcium content of mice gives a lot of benefits to beardies.

Answer 3

i have a three year old beardie and he will eat as many crickets as i will give him, i bought 150 and put them in his tank (150 gal hes spoiled) and within 20 minutes they were gone i honestly dont thik you can fill a beardie with crickets however it is also next to impossible to overfeed a bearded dragon, when they eat too much their back legs will go immoible so they cant catch the crickets anymore so basicly id would give them as many as they will eat, but the thing to watch with baby bearded dragons is if crickets are left with them after they are done eating the crickets can actually start eating the beardie, causing small cuts on them, painfull id say...

Answer 4

My infant is now 7 months previous. He became into spitting up lots that my pediatrician had me positioned some tbsp of cereal in each and each bottle. My infant became into high-quality. He slept greater valuable and spit up much less! additionally 31/2 isn't too youthful to eat cereal. maximum babies start up at 4 months. Your infant is basically approximately there! i think of of it this way. each infant is diverse. you be attentive to your infant greater valuable than any pediatrician. If I have been you, i could do what my gut informed me to do. you be attentive to whats acceptable on your infant. I even have performed the two. My infant had 2 tbsp of cereal in a 4 oz..bottle from 3 weeks till approximately 6 months. I additionally fed my son a small quantity of cereal on a spoon. basically use alot of formula so it remains a runny consistency. as long as your infant wont have hassle digesting it. (few infant's do. the two considered one of mine have been high-quality notwithstanding this is been standard to take place) or wont choke on it (no longer too thick) they are going to be high-quality! attempt it as quickly as and if it facilitates them, good! Of the child gets somewhat tummy discomfort or looks fussy after wards, stop. Its nicely worth a shot if it could make your infant happier! It valuable did mine!! Pediatricians are super, yet mom continually is familiar with acceptable! persist with your instincts! ;)
