Question

guess what! whoever wrote the first answer got reported! go to hell *****

Answer 1

Cabbage isn't considered to be very good for them... I suppose a little wouldn't hurt as long as it's part of a varied diet... Best greens are collard greens, mustard greens, bok choy, endive, escarole, romaine, dandelion greens etc...

Answer 3

Bearded Dragon Red

Answer 4

it really depends on the size and age of your dragon if you have a very small beardy less than 10 inch long then no i wouldnt trust it red cabbage has a very thick leaf and may impact a very young bearded dragon but if you have an older dragon than it is fine they benifit from thick bulky veggies (hold alot of water) if it is real young though you can use just the thin outer leaves just cut in very small peices

Answer 5

theres not a whole lot of nutriants in cabbage for them. I'm not sure if it would hurt them though. You should give them all kinds of veggies and some fruit. Go to petsmart.com. They should have care sheets you can print. They have the care sheets in the store too. It should give you a list of all kinds of foods that are good for them. They can eat wax worms too. But most people don't like to give them theses. If it is a baby you can give it baby food (try natural ones though). We used to give our babies baby food squash. They loved it. Good luck.

I got this from an answer someone gave on another beardie question:

Bugs -
The size of the food items you feed your Dragon is extremely important. All food that is offered should be smaller in width than the Dragons mouth. Use caution in choosing the insect size, as too large of a cricket can cause health problems (ie. - blockage) while digesting. The same applies with mealworms, use small mealworms for small dragons, and increase the mealworm size as the dragons size increases. A hatchling, up to 2 months will eat mostly insects, picking at finely chopped greens here and there.
2 week old crickets (3/8 inch in size) should be offered 2 - 3 feedings a day, only in the amount that the dragon will eat at one feeding.. A juvenile Dragon (2 - 4 months) will eat approximately 20% greens to 80% insects... 3 week old crickets should be given 2 times daily and small (1/2 inch) mealworms can be added to their diet. 4 months to maturity should be fed approximately 4 week old crickets once or twice daily. The small mealies may be replaced by larger ones and king mealworms may also be added. Pinky mice can also be added to their diet once a week, depending on the size of the dragon. Adult dragons need to be fed adult crickets, king mealworms... once a day or every other day. Pinky mice, if used, should be fed sparingly - unless feeding a gravid adult.
Bearded dragons are voracious eaters, especially when they are young. If you aren't feeding the hatchlings enough, and if they have cage-mates, they will nibble toes and tail-tips - if it moves, its food. If your dragons aren't eating well, something is possibly wrong. The most likely problem is that the cage temperature is incorrect: their bodies must reach high temperatures in order to digest their food. If they are digesting slowly, they wont eat well. First step - Check Temp.



Gutloading -
Crickets and mealworms are readily available at most pet shops. These crickets and mealies are generally not high in nutrients directly from the pet shop and will need to be fed well (GutLoad, baby cereal, fresh fruit & veggies) before being offered to your Dragon. This is called 'gutloading'. I recommend 'gutloading' crickets for 24 hours before feeding. We use an orange, carrot and a potato for moisture, and a mixture of baby cereal and Gutload for nutrients.

Veggies -
There is a huge selection of 'leafy' greens which are high in calcium to feed your Dragon, some of which are... kale, arugula, collard & mustard greens, parsley, dandelion greens and flowers, endives, radish, carrot and turnip tops, escarole and chicory endive. For more of a variety, mixed into the greens may be many other veggies such as squash, corn, peas, carrots (shredded), sweet potato, cucumber, zucchini, green peppers, chard... also chopped fruit such as cantaloupe, apple, blueberries, peaches, pears, grapes, plums, raspberries... all chopped finely to avoid choking. The main idea in their diet is variety.**Do not feed your dragons iceburg lettuce as is has very little nutritional value and may give the dragon the 'runs' - prompting dehydration.
Dragons will also munch on other greens. If you take your dragon outside or allow it to roam about the house - please be sure to check that the possible munchies are not poisonous.

Supplementation -
Another 'must' for Beardies is a Calcium supplement - We use Repcal with V3 and occasionally Miner-All. The dust can be placed into a baggie and crickets 'shake -n- baked' in it before feeding... and the liquid can be sprayed onto their greens. The form of the calcium is a preference, but its presence is definitely a must. At least 1 feeding every other day should be calcium supplemented. **One day a week, we supplement with a multivitamin such as Herptivite. Caution should be exercised when using a multi-vitamin supplement, as reptiles are susceptible to vitamin A toxicity.

Answer 6

Bearded dragons are omnivores,that means they eat both plant and meat,so I guess they can eat red cabbages.

Answer 7

I figure a dragon can eat pretty much whatever it wants to.

Answer 8

I think he can, we have one of these in my biology class, and i know ive seen him eat lectuce, but im not 100% sure on cbbage.

Answer 9

dont think so I feed mine romain lettuce
