Beardie diet

[Miket20]

my brother got a beardie about 2 months ago growing rapidly around 10 inches now and never seems to stop eating he's a bottomless pit. i've kept snakes for many years but this is my first experience of lizards. just want some advice on how much food he should be eating daily is it ok to feed as much as he wants or control it a bit more. he's in perfect health defecating on regular intervals and seems very happy really growing in confidence as well now. at the moment he's eating about 20-30 crickets a day during 2-3 intervals dusting one or two every couple of days and always making a bowl of kale availible which he loves. thanks

Congrats on the new beardie! He should be eating as much as he will eat in 10-15 minutes, 3x a day. That should equal to about 50-100+ crickets a day, I know that may seem like a lot but baby-juvie dragons eat a LOT! I would also try different greens, kale is a "feed occasionally" food, so it shouldn't be fed as a staple diet.
Here is a link to a great list of good and bad greens and vegetables:

Also, here is a great caresheet and FAQ page that will help you make the best life for your new dragon!
