Bearded dragons eat varying quantities of mealworms depending on their age and size. Juvenile bearded dragons typically require more mealworms compared to adult dragons due to their rapid growth and higher energy needs. A general guideline is to feed juvenile bearded dragons around 10-15 mealworms per feeding, while adult bearded dragons may only need 5-10 mealworms per feeding. It is important to note that mealworms should not be the sole source of nutrition for bearded dragons, as they also require a varied diet of vegetables, fruits, and other insects. Monitoring and adjusting the mealworm portions according to the dragon’s growth and overall health is crucial to ensure they receive optimal nutrition and avoid any potential health issues.
