If they are anything like dragons, their eating habits will fluctuate. One week, they will eat 20-30 a day. The next, they might eat 2 or 3. I've found the beardies do best with a varied diet; different greens, worms one day, crickets the next, etc.

Thanks for the info, Kevy. He's a fruit eating gecko, so he only gets crickets 2-3 times a week. I went to PetCo last night and told the guy what kind of lizard I had and he recommended half a dozen crickets for the week. I gave them to Grommit and he gobbled them all up in fifteen minutes! I guess it's back to the pet store for me tomorrow.
I really hate crickets. The scare me. Last night in the car (coming into the driveway) Michael decides to be funny and tell me that Indi let the crickets loose. I nearly bailed onto the driveway. Husbands!
