He loves Romaine Lettuce! lol The way he eats it is hilarious!

I gave him a warm bath in a bowl and he had a HUGE poop! His first one since I had had him, glad he did. I was looking for logs all day. lol

Ohh and he is also eating small mealworms dusted with vitamins... he loves them too!

But I have found, if it doesn't move.. we usually won't eat it. Well, bugs that is. The lettuce I fed him I was holding with my hand and he likes eating from my hand and tweezers.

Romaine lettuce in on the feed rarely, it can actually cause diarrhea and has hardly any nutritional value. Stick to collard greens, dandelion greens mustard greens, turnip greens,yellow squash, carrots, anything green on that chart can be fed daily. He is a very handsome guy.

Edit- Mealworms are a big no no. They can cause imapction. Stick with crickets, dubia, phoenix worms, hornworms, and silk worms and he can have superworms if he is over 16 inches

Ahh I see! :O

Thanks so much for that, I only gave him small little bits of it. Hope he doesn't have the bubble guts.

Lindz0518 · Jan 26, 2013

I am sure he will be fine! That is the nutrition guide pretty much everyone uses, it's like the beardie bible lol.

As far as live foods go, what is the best? I will be breeding Dubias for sure. And that is what he has been eating mostly. And he LOVES them. He was raised on them. Would only Dubias be ok for awhile?

Or should I order something else?

What else are good for him?

And as far as greens, what is the best for him? Something that doesn't spoil fast though.

Thank you for that link, I had seen it about a month or two ago when I had started to look at getting a beardy...

Lindz0518 · Jan 26, 2013

Any of the greens and veggies I listed above are good. He will be fine on just dubia. Then every once in a while throw in some crickets or phoenix worms for variety, but dubia are a great staple feeder.

Congrats on the Beautiful beardie!!! I love this tip of his soon to be shedding nose lol!

Dubias are the best. As Linsz0518 suggested throw in some other foods for variety once in a while. I had Bandit on a phoenix/dubia diet for a while and she exploded in size. You can order from phoenixworm.com. Also, are you using calcium w/ D3? I noticed you said your fed mealworms with vitamins (multivitamins I'm assuming?). His tummy should be should be fine with the mealworms he did eat. The majority of us here have made that mistake at least once... (I had Bandit on a mealworm/cricket diet for about a week when I first had her

) But again, congrats on the gorgeous guy!

Thank you!

I am using both of the bearded dragon "shake n bake" vitamins from petmountain.

I am going to be getting 500 Dubais soon from someone here who sells them, and will use those to start a mini colony. I looked at how to raise those phoenix worms.. but they turn into flies... and I don't like the idea of something that can fly around in my house if them get out... lol

And thanks!

halffrozen · Jan 26, 2013

Also, why isn't Dubia Roaches on that list???

Kind of odd.

Lindz0518 · Jan 27, 2013

I think the chart was made before dubia really became popular as a feeder. No worries, they are (in my opinion) probably the healthiest feeder out there.
