Pinkies for Beardo...

I am just wondering... My bearded is getting a little on the skinny site, and I know pinks are an excellent source of vitamins and fat

So... How many/ how often should I feed my bearded dragon pinkies?
Thanks
Dan Conner

what lizzie said and also more often, and pinkies are good for fattening up but you shouldnt feed too often.

Alright... I am feeding him about 50 crickets a week, 25 mealies a week, and veggies, mostly kale in the winter now, but I usually have some grated carrot for him too... What would you mean by bigger food?

Actually Kale inhibits the absorption of Calcium.

Ive heard its most (maybe even all) of the cabbage family absorbs calcium, any truth to this? In the winter when im lazy i buy frozen veggies, and in spring-aut i give chickweed, dandelion, and a mix of grocery store vegies.
Good luck!

Is that true about Kale? I was told it was good for them... Oh well, he likes carrots more, and I'm sure I can find some other veggies for hime
