Bearded dragon size crickets?

Question

I'm feeding my beardy 1/2 inch crickets and he's a little over 6 inches long. is this ok or could it cause impaction?

Answer 1

i think it should be good because you also want him to chew on them not swallow them cause you or your beardie don't want jumping crickets in his tummy

Answer 2

I agree with the 2 previous posters.

Make sure the cricket is no longer or wider then the space between his eyes. Also, make sure you are gutloading them to make them more nutritious to your beardie.

Answer 3

Just like Lori V said, I've always heard the cricket should be no longer than the space in between the beardie's eyes.

Answer 4

Anything that you feed your beardie should be no bigger than the space between his eyes.  Otherwise, you're risking impaction.
