    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Home of the beardies!
Can anyone tell me if it is better to feed beardies many small crickets + Fruit and veggies, of Few Large Crickets + Fruit and veggies
 
Make sure not to over feed fruits, you want to feed much more veggies. One book I read said that if you feed more veggies and greens they may live longer.
 
thanks, i have two 3 month old beardies, they are growing enormously for their age, they are up to adult crickets, and they absolutely love lettuce!
 
Lettuce shouldnt be fed due to the fact its a waste to feed, it has no nutritional value. Is it lettuce that you woudl eat at like a restuarant? If so, yea that has no nutritianl value so I would suggest not to feed it. Also it will cause diarrreah which willl lead dehydration and further problems.
 
To be more specific it's iceberg lettuce that should be avoided. With so many varieties it's confusing to just say lettuce. Most of us know what you meant but anyone new reading this may be confused. Anywho.......

3 months and eating adult crix??? I would love to see pictures. I have to admit, I am a bit sceptical. :eek:
 
In answer to the first post, I would advise feeding your dragon many small crickets over a few large crickets. Large crickets are harder to digest, especially for young dragons. But - as long as you stick to the rule of feeding your dragon crickets that are no larger or longer than the space between your dragon's eyes, you will be okay.
