Diet

Bearded Dragons are Omnivorous. They eat both plant and animal matter. At Allaboutbeardeds we feed our adult breeder dragons a combination of mixed greens, (Kale,Mustard,Turnip,Collard) avoid lettuce and romaine as they are too high in moisture and too low in fiber and calcium and cause diarrhea. Superworms (zoophobas) and medium crickets are offered daily for 30 min periods. Make sure that all the Dragons eat, if keeping more than one per enclosure, as dominant Dragons will dominate feeding.

Baby dragons should be fed 1/8 inch crickets and finely chopped greens for about one week to ten days. After such a period, the food can be increased in size marginally with the increase in the Dragons body size.

As with everything else, always use common sense and discretion when feeding you're dragon. Never be too confident to ask or read a book if questions arise. Bearded dragons can grow at phenomenal rates when cared for properly, and can reach adulthood within one year.
