How many crickets a day do you feed a 2 month old bearded dragon?

Question

i got a bearded dragon 3 days ago and he ate 1 the first day 1the second day and 4 today

Answer 1

A baby dragon should be fed 3x daily, and when fed crickets, s/he should be given as many as they will eat in 10-15 minutes.  Remove any uneaten crickets from the tank.  

I would also add Phoenix worms to its diet if you can find them.

Baby beardies grow fast and need a good varied diet of insects and veggies.

Since you got him 3 days ago he may not be settled in yet, most bearded dragons are voracious and hearty eaters.

Answer 2

They should be fed a ratio of 80% protein and 20% greens. This breaks down to feeding a baby 2-3x a day as many crickets as they can eat in 10 minutes (will range from 60 to 125 crickets a day.) The crickets should be no bigger than the space between a beardie's eyes. If feeding in the same tank as the beardie is living in, all uneaten crickets should be removed. Make sure that one feeding a day (6 days) is dusted with a calcium dust. This dust should have d3 and should be phosphorus free. On the 7th day make sure you dust one feeding of crickets with a multivitamin.

Answer 3

babies tend to eat about 5 a day.  but just remember that he is in a new home. that stress only will damper hunger a little.

Answer 4

do not over feed him... he can have around 5 a day but no more because he is still to small he can also eat milworms
