Bearded Dragon Diet

 

Bearded dragons are omnivores, so their diet includes a mix of insects, vegetables, and occasional fruits. Here's a basic breakdown by age:

1. Juveniles (under 1 year old):

·  Insects (70-80% of diet): Crickets, dubia roaches, black soldier fly larvae. Feed 2–3 times daily.

·  Veggies (20-30%): Collard greens, mustard greens, dandelion greens, squash, carrots.

2. Adults (1+ years old):

·  Veggies (70-80% of diet): Focus shifts to mostly greens and vegetables. Offer daily.

·  Insects (20-30%): Still important but in moderation. Feed every 2–3 days.

Safe Treats:

·  Fruits (occasionally): Blueberries, mango, apple (peeled), strawberries.

·  Calcium supplement: Dust food with calcium powder (with or without D3 depending on UVB exposure).

Avoid:

·  Lettuce (mostly water, little nutrition)

·  Spinach (binds calcium)

·  Avocados, onions, rhubarb (toxic)

·  Wild-caught insects (may carry parasites)
