This stuff isn't the best, live food is much rather preferred. Unless you're stuck in some kind of famine and no online stores have bugs, there's no need to buy/feed this to your beardie

Crude Protein (min) 32%, Crude Fat/Oil (min) 7.5%, Crude Fiber (max) 6.5%, Moisture (max) 9%, Ash (max) 10.5%,Calcium (min)2.25%, Phosphate (min)2%.

anything with freeze dried insects in it and a bunch of fillers like those highlighted , is going to next to worthless nutritionally to your young dragon , bluntly , it's rubbish , expensive rubbish actually and the only place it belongs is in the bin.

Stick with live high quality insects .
Good staple insects
>> BSF maggots
>> blowfly gents
and the pupae and flies , great for hatchlings and juveniles , naturally rich in calcium
>> silkworms
small (1-1.5 inch for sub 3 month olds)
medium (1.5 - 2 inch for larger hatchlings and juveniles)
large ( > 2 inch for beardies older than 12 months.
>> crickets / roaches / locusts , must be gutloaded with calcium rich foods and greens & dusted LIGHTLY with calcium powder.

Repashi GRUBPIE is acceptable as a backup food.

Hard and soft pellets are dubious , ok mixed in as softened croutons through their greens/salad (maybe).

Bites = rubbish food.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
