My lizard gets the same food every day and doesnt seem to eat it very much. What are some good foods that he would like?

This website has the most complete info you need for your dragon. Some of the other foods mentioned in here in Answers are NOT safe for beardies!

Go to the site the person above me gave. Very good site.
Just wanted to add a few more things. Never feed meal worms, they're too hard for dragons to digest. Never feed carrots, they're bad for dragons eyes, Stick to greens like collards, mustard greens, turnip greens, etc. Not romaine lettuce...it can cause diarrhea and has little nutritional value (mostly water).
Wax worms are find as treats.
Kale binds calcium
Locusts and anything you find outside should not be fed.
Basically anything that's not staple greens and squash should be treats only. Go by the chart on the beautifuldragons page.

They can eat MANY things. I'm including a link to a website that has a VERY helpful chart of reccomended and not reccomended foods. Just always make sure anything you get is clean. Meaning no pesticides (from picking stuff outside) or don't get crickets or any sorts of worms outside.
best of luck!

i feed my bearded dragons kail and crikits. i my male he loves crikits and my little female loves her kale. i found that some bearded dragons are picke eaters so when you find some thing that they like and is good for them keep them on the same diet. with insects you want to make sure that they are not as big as the space between there eyes. and dust there food with calcium powder

Bearded Dragons are omnivorous, they will eat both insects and plant matter. You can feed them on the following:
Insects:
*Crickets
*Locusts
*Waxworms
*Mealworms
*Earthworms
Plant matter:
*Dandelion flowers/leaves
*Parsley
*Watercress/cress
*chives
*Kale
*Brightly coloured flowers/rose petals
Vegetables:
*Carrots
*Sweetcorn
*Turnip/turnip tops
*Peas
Fruit:
*Apple
*Mango
*Banana
*Kiwi fruit
*Melon/watermelon
*Grapes
If they are adult they can also have an occasional pinky mouse.
By the way, only feed them waxworms/mealworms occasionally as a treat, as they are very high in fat and low in nutritional value.
