Bearded Dragons - Food Chart

[lissa]

For the love of all things good in the world i need some serious help or im gonna go crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 I have been searching day and night trying to find a website that will tell me the nutritional requirements needed for any type of lizard!! If anyone could please end my suffering i would be so thankfully. What i am looking for specifically is the protein, fat, vitamin and mineral levels of different types of lizards, turtles and tortises. Please help if you can,

From a very over-whelmed new zealand girl

Is it possible the timid one is being bullied by the other one - sometimes the dominant dragin won't let the subordinate eat or bask properly.

Great link thanks for that it will come in handy

Further down that page, it says that Spider Plants are safe for beardies... Can anyone confirm that? We have loads of Spider Plants, so it would be great if they can be used! =)

Just thought I would add that anything with bulbs is to be avoided for beardies.

Also, how many different veggies do most people give in one "pile"? I'm growing my own alfalfa and chopping up romaine lettuce from the shop (I know it's not as high-calcium but it's just to give some variety with the alfalfa).

I have one last question: If you live in the UK, what exactly is "collar greens" because they apparently make a good staple but every time I ask someone about them, they give me kale which I know is not a good staple.

hey can you feed them on a staple of kale?

As far as I'm aware, no. Not the best choice.
