No - Beardies are omnivores which means they need a diet of vegetation and live food. By not feeding a beardie live food, you are depriving them of things they would naturally eat in the wild. A beardie up to about 18 months old needs a diet ratio of around 80% live and 20% veg. Once they hit 18 months, it is pretty much the opposite way around although saying that, my beardie was never too keen on veg although she did eat some.
