Hi. My wife is a vet tech and one of the vets she works with saved a little dragon from a pet shop where it was malnourished and had calcium deficiency. She got him back on track and gave him to us. We both have always loved bearded dragons but have never owned one.
So my question is on the current diet we have him on. He is around 13" long and we are guessing 6-8 months old. Very healthy, active, not over weight, growing like crazy. Sheds about every 1-2 weeks, though it seems constant cause he sheds his body one day, then his tail another, then his legs. Goes to the bathroom on schedule 1-2 times a day. So seems like a pretty good diet so far. Feeding twice a day with fresh water. Large BSFL, 2" horn worms, mix of 75% collard greens 25% Kale. I'll give him 20-25 BSFL and 3 horn worms per feeding for a couple days, then 30-35 BSFL and 1-2 horn worms for a couple days. We also change it up and give him some crickets sometimes or wax worms occasionally. Tried very small amounts of fruit "blueberry, grape, tomato. He's not really into those yet, he'll eat a little bit of the blueberry. Thanks for any feedback or info.
