what greens or fruit can i feed to bearded dragons?

Answer 1

Bearded dragons like a varied diet, this should included crickets, giant mealworms, locusts, plus dandelions(leaves and flowers), watercress, kale, broccoli and soft fruit. Every other meal should be supplemented with a calcium and or vitamin D3 containing powder ie Nutrobal. The babies have a varied diet with insects proportional to their size.

Answer 3

Mine loves parsley.

Rule of thumb: NEVER give them lettuce, it gives them the runs.

Beardies will eat fruits like apples, bananas, grapes and peaches.

I usually squeeze juice from a fruit into a shallow dish and put some Bearded Dragon pellets into it.

Answer 5

Ok there are a lot of good foods on here but I'll add this anyway. If you feed lettuce, feed romaine not iceburg. Also, never feed spinach. It binds calcium therefore the beardie does not get enough and can end up getting a bone disease. I don't know the proper name for it though.

Answer 6

our beardies have a varied diet of mealworms, wax worms, locust, cricket are ratherpartial to rocket and watercress, love any kind of fruit, carrots, stay away from spinache its like poison to a beardie lettuce is just full of water and has no dietry satisfaction at all yes my beardies also love the pure fruit juice in with their pellets,

beardies also get bored of eating the same thing all the time so try to vary their diet if u can.
