How many crickets do you feed a 3 and 1/2 month bearded dragon that is 9 and 1/2 long. Feeding 3 times a day in 10 mins. he eats 30 and more a feeding. 1/2 to 5/8. He weighed 31 when I purchased him and now weights 41 a week later. I feed him kale and romaine before I feed him crickets. Sometimes he stops, so I know he is full, but after 50 I stop. Should I keep feeding till he stops?

Donna, feed as many as he will eat within 15 min...I add them to the salad by cooling them down in the fridge for @20 min....the dragon will eat them as they warm up and get salad as well...have you tried mashed pumpkin yet? mine go nuts for it
 
They love squash in general. I chop up yellow squash, acorn squash and butternut squash into small bite sized chunks, add a small amount of water, and cook/steam it all in the microwave, cool and serve, and mine go nuts on the squash like it was bugs.
 
He needs some dark greens like collards and turnip greens go lite on the kale and romain don’t do much for him.
