Goldfish?

[KijaJouteh]

Used to own a Chinese Water Dragon, and I would give him little feeder fish all the time, so I was wondering, what would happen if a Bearded Dragon were to eat a small little feeder fish?

You could but beardies have rather sensitive digestive tracks compared to water dragons and the impaction risk is pretty high...

Personally, I wouldn't...

Well..that site also says to 'stick to mealworms'..

Fish are a bad idea for dragons - the bones pose a risk and they are also frequent carriers of parasites.

If its a tiny fish there should be no problem

Beardies don't eat fish in the wild. Chinese Water Dragons do. I think beardie bodies aren't made to handle fish. Especially goldfish. Because I heard somewhere, I think on an 'Animal Cops' show on AnimalPlanet that goldfish can stunt a alligators growth because of something the goldfish carries. I forgot what. Hope this helps!

Yes, but then it says, and I quote.
"Can Bearded Dragons eat Mealworms?
Infrequent, high in fat and phosphorates, but low in calcium – dust them with calcium and they’re good a s supplement for dragons to put on some weight. Avoid feeding them mealworms that are due to malt as the hard skin/ chitin will cause digestive issues."

I don't exactly agree because if you want to beef up your skinny dragon give it wax worms. They won't cause impaction because they are soft bodied. And it only said, "stick to mealworms" because of earthworms.
