Thanks for reaching out about Zero. It is impossible to give you an exact weight without the weight of your bearded dragon, but usually they are fed to satiation, several times daily. Appetite and digestion will also depend on environmental conditions (temperature) and intestinal absorption. If your concerned about growth, a veterinary visit would be recommended. Intestinal parasite or infections could cause a map-digestion. Good luck.
