Diet

Insects - When feeding your pet bearded dragon insects, you should feed them gut-loaded insects, like crickets, once a day. An insect is “gut-loaded” when they have been fed strategic ingredients, like calcium and other nutrients, to increase their nutritional value before giving them to a reptile. Mealworms, superworms and waxworms can be offered to you pet, but only in small amounts. There are storage containers for these reptile insects that keep them from escaping. 

Vegetables and Fruits - Bearded dragons eat lots of dark, leafy greens, carrots, squash and peas that can all be offered daily. Fruits, like melons, berries and citrus, should only be offered to your pet once a week. Make sure to remove any food they do not eat after a few hours before it starts to rot. 

Bearded Dragon Food - Pellet food for bearded dragons should be offered on a daily basis, moistened with water. 

Vitamins - Dust an adult’s food with calcium/Vitamin D3 powder two to three times a week and a juviniles four to five times a week. A reptile multivitamin can be dusted on a juvenile’s food once a week and twice a month for adults, or as directed by your veterinarian
