Best feeders for a very young hatchling bearded dragon .
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 , dubious , ok mixed in as softened croutons through they greens/salad (maybe).
Bites = rubbish food.
Insects suitable for treats
wax worms
and if beardie is over 12 months old
mealworms (lavae , pupae and beetles)
superworms (lavae , pupae and beetles)
basically Feeding schedules :
hatchlings
three feeds of live appropriate sized insects per day as many as they want per session offered a few at time if it's hoppy or fast moving
+ offer fresh high calcium greens daily (might not eat it).
Juveniles (6 months to 12 months)
two feeds of insects per day
+ offer fresh high calcium greens daily (might not eat it)
