I am a first time bearded dragon owner and I love him so much. Not entirely sure how old he is as I got him from Petco and they did not tell me. But he is tiny. (Picture attached [I hope] so you can see how young he is). I got him in August so he's been with us a couple months and seems to be doing fine! Shedding as normal, eats well, poops a lot and poop looks ok, hates baths, like to explore. But I am starting to worry that I am not feeding him properly or enough. For the first month, I was just feeding him Fluker's Juvenile Bearded Dragon Diet. Then we ran out and I decided I didn't like that stuff because it looked like actual poop and he deserved better. So I got him Fluker's Buffet Blend (both the veggie one and the mealworms/crickets blend). But I realized that it smells funky after it sits for a bit so I said "he deserves better" and now we hardly use it.
NOW I chef up his food personally. 2 meals a day. Every morning before I leave the house, I will take his plate and tear up some kale, cut up a strawberry, and tear up some shredded carrots and put it in his terrarium. I also sprinkle it with the calcium powder. Dinner is also kale, carrots, and some live mealworms and freeze-dried crickets also with calcium powder. So he gets a veggie diet in the morning and a carnivore diet in the evening with some greens.
Again, he eats it all and poops fine and seems happy. But should he be eating more in the day? Less calcium powder? Less fruits because of the natural sugar? What do your dragons eat for meals in a day?
