When beardies are less than a yr old, they need LOTS of protein to help them grow and that's why they need 80% feeders and 20% greens. As they mature, they cut themselves back to only 1 feeding a day of feeders. When they are 1 to 1 1/2 yrs old, their diet should be 80% greens/veggies and 20% protein. So, a "vegetarian meal" is not recommended no matter what age.
