I have started doing that.. as i was getting peed off throwing food away they love it just cant get my beardie to eat it. i even mixed a bit of Fig in with her greens, she went mad for the fig and left the greens, shes not thick, just got to remember she can only have a little bit.

We just got two beardies, about 6 weeks old and although the will devour locusts within seconds, they have hardly touched any greens. They get a small fresh pile of it about twice a day but will usually only take a small bite of it.

Gonna try with crickets over the next few days. How many would you feed and how often for two 6week olds

i was thinking this about adult beardies.
How many Crickets or locust or worms should i be giving my beardie each day....

mine will just eat and eat and im sure he'll burst (New beadie arrived yesterday)
and i dont want to feed him to much i know locust are fatty for them. on the other hand i dont want to be calling him a little fatty and im starving him.

so am i giving him 6, 8, 10 or 20 crickets a day. + a bowl of veg.

hi there

you cant over feed a baby there growing

for the first 10 to 12 months of there life give them as much as thay will eat

just make sure you feed a mixed live food diet not to much of one type of food

at least 4 to 6 diffrent live foods

and 4 to 6 diffrent types of veg

lots of calcium and vits

Can anybody with Beardies give me a list of a good balanced diet they have found to work?!? There seems to be so many different food options!
Thanks

can beareded dragons just eat this for the rest of there life as its for adults and juveniles and i think zoo med has some baby food pelits as well only asking as it is so easyier to feed her eis the pic private message me on your views as if you can im buying loads of this in bulk

Yep i used this site for information on bearded dragon food when i first became an owner.

Extremely useful.

[lovebeardies]

Did not realise there were so many posts on that topic. I am very late.

As per previous post though i would not recommended to only feed a beardie a product. They need the balance of different live food and different vegetation.

Eat food item provides different benefits. To create that balance you need the variety. These products are merely supplementation like our protein shakes and vitamin supplements.
