They dint have goldfish in the desert, i dont think that they can. I have one at home who is really small and has a condition where he cant walk very well. We feed him cricks, mill worms, slick worms, and a salads. we dint feed ours a pinkies yet because he is to small. I hope this helps!

Talking about fish he can't digest the scales,not even when he's older. On the mouse side of things, it depends on how he takes it. Mine LOVE mice,the little one can only take half of a fuzzy or new born pinkies. At nine inches long he can eat pinkies now. Only feed them to him as a once a week treat,otherwise he will become fat. I hope this helps.

I'd stay away from feeder goldfish, they really aren't that healthy (I'm thinking thiamine deficiencies?? can't remember)... I'm sure they'd probably eat them though... As for mice, they usually swallow them whole, you'd be amazed how quickly they can snap them up! If you want variety in animal protein, try cockroaches, waxworms, butterworms, silkworms, earthworms, the occasional superworm etc...

In one word....NO. bearded dragons are insectivorious herbivores which means they only eat insects and plant matter. Goldfish have no nutrition and their bones will pierce the dragon's insides which is a slow and painful death.feed crickets, superworms, waxworms, feeder roaches, plus collard greens, turnip greens, squashes, bell peppers, and mangos but NO LETTUCE. it has no nutritional value and causes watery diarrhea and dehydration.

THERE IS IGUANA FOOD AT THE PET STORE. SOME IS MOIST AND SOME IS CRUNCHY, DEPENDING ON THE PET'S PREFERENCE. SNAKES AND DRAGONS ARE VERY DIFFERENT.
