I only did it once. NO seasonings, one egg and put it in the pan, scramble it lightly. Let it cool then feed it to him/her. I would say mine was a hit. This was over a year ago now. I haven't tried it since. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTB5FQSUa1n6nAZ1fTM5Z_Q
Is this a good amount?

I didn’t use milk, butter, oil, or seasonings. Just plain egg. This is about half of one full egg, I’m also wondering how often can I feed him this? It’s now one of his favourite foods!

I have fed my beardies scrambled eggs once in a while, I microwaved it and just used a few pieces since they are fatty compared to what a beardie is used to. Maybe use a little less than what you have there, not quite a quarter of an egg.

He didn’t end up eating all of it, about 1/2 to 2/3 of it. He has a quick metabolism so I doubt it will cause any issues ;)

I give my bearded dragon boiled I have never tried scrambled. And I only give her an egg like once every like few months since I don't make them often And I don't put anything in the boiled eggs normally when i make them for myself i put them in baking soda but i just boil them in water. Maybe one day I'll try scrambled eggs! :)

I came across a trick for boiled eggs a little bit back that makes them much easier to peel. Lightly tap the egg with the back of a spoon (i had better luck with quick taps) you'll hear an audible pop from the egg 🥚 thats the membrane releasing from the shell. Boil as usual and enjoy easy to peel eggs. Do be careful not to crack the egg while tapping, it makes a mess in the water 😆

That’s… actually a really good idea! I’ll try that,

I have seen someone give raw eggs...I think that's more for tegus. I wouldn't try that for my beardies...what do you think?
Hm… wild beardies sometimes eat their own eggs raw, I’d assume they snack on some other type of egg as well. I wouldn’t try it unless there is professional research on the topic, the hard shells might cause digestive issues.
