can beardies eat bigger than pinkies?

[yoyofanatic]

mine loves pinkies but there kind of small for him. Can they eat fuzzys or other large inscects

Hissing Cockroaches, or Adult Blaptica Dubia Roaches are generally readily accepted by Adult Beardies.

I wouldn't reccomend feeding anything larger than a pinky simply because of the bones.

It's risky and difficult to digest.

They can but I wouldn't go past a hopper just b/c adult mice fight back & can bite pretty hard. I used to have a full grown female beardie who was huge & she ate hoppers when I felt like giving her a treat.

you might not want to feed him too many pinkies.... they are way too much protien. it would be like you eating a rare staek for dinner every night. its just too much. your beardie can divelope the reptile form of kidney stone and gull stones. over 500 adults and we dont feed a single dragon pinkies just because of that risk. if you do dicide to keep feeding them i would have to absolutly agree with what nigel, lena, and jason.
