Food for Beardies!?

Question

What kind of vegetables should I feed them? I already know what kinds like collared, dandelion and so on, but I want to know what types what kind of greens like kale or broccoli.

Answer 1

I have 3 beardies and they are very found of swiss chard and collard greens. They really love squash too. Every once in a while i scramble them up an egg for some extra protein and sprinkle it with calcium powder. 2 of mine love the worms the other one won't touch them. But as they get older you can even feed them pinkies. Oh yes and they love melon too. A sweet little treat for when they are being good.

Answer 2

Either of those, plus escarole. parsley, and mustard greens. A variety is always preferable to any single type so you get a different mix of vitamins an minerals. Just avoid giving too much of anthing with oxalates (spinach, chard, rhubarb, sorrel) because these interfere with calcium absorption.

Answer 3

My beardie loves broccoli! He could eat it all day, but it is high in calcium, so make sure to mix up the diet. Superworms are good too!

Answer 4

Lettus, cabage, carrots, cellrey, and things like that. Almost anthing but tomatos and oranges (because of the high acid level). Also make sure you give your bearded dragon live insects! here are some links you will want to check out! hope this helps!
