Bearded Dragon
My Bearded Dragon
What should I feed my Beardie?
Bearded dragons are omnivorous and love insects, fruit and vegetables.
Go to Insect Substrate
The list of food for bearded dragons is extensive
and they will let you know which ones they like and which ones not so fussy. You can take food to a beardie but you can't make him/her eat!
Here are some to try.
Live foods:
Crickets, meal worms, dubia roaches. Remember you need to feed these too as good healthy food leads to good healthy beardies. Get yourself a good mini terrarium and use the Insect & Arachnid Substrate to look after them.
Fruit:
Figs, melon, apple, mango, plums, strawberries, pears, grapes and raisins.
Vegetables:
Okra, sweet potato, cabbage, parsnip, courgette, green beans, peas, rocket, coriander, kale, clover, dandelions (a particular favourite of Derek)
Warning TOXIC. Do not
feed these to your beardie.
Avocado, rhubarb, fireflies, wild insects.
Spinach and beet tops (OK in very small quantities but can lead to calcium deficiency), iceberg lettuce (too much water and not enough nutrition)
Some little beardie facts
Beardies can grow up to 60 cm in length (24 ")

Scientific name is Pogona vitticeps
Mrs Beardie will lay 11-30 oblong shaped eggs in a shallow nest

Think you saw him/her waving and bobbing its head-you probably did!
The Beardie is native to the rocky desert regions of Central Australia
