Thanks much for the quick reply. So when I do my twice a day feedings, do them separately. Has anyone ever tried feeding in a bath tub? If you plug the drain, crickets cannot get away and the bearded dragon will have easy access to them while they walk around. Think I may try this when I get home from work in a few hours.

Just buy a sterilite for feeding if you get a 99L tub itl work as a nice temp hime be sure ur using uvb tho and be sure to read up on it uvb does disipate with range unlesd ur using a murcury bumb then itl go farther (3ft i believe).. also 2x a day is alot of food. Not sure i agree with 25 a day either as some wat many more.. i feed a 8in dragon who eats 20 male dubias per sitting thats alot more meat... they should have veg always avail imho. So ev 36hrs at that age prob. its a juvie should be eating half a diet of veg. And being too full snd used to crix may be why they dont eat greens ..

My girl is 9.5" and just over 4 m/o. The beardie forum I'm on said that 2xfeeding a day for a juvie this age is still recommended. When she was between 2-3 m/o I was doing 3x feeding, as much as she can eat in 15m. Now switched to two instead for 10m. I actually tong feed her because the banded cricks are a bit too agile. Never larger than the space betwee her eyes. She's mah little piggie :D.
