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.

Currently trying not to stress over my anemic dragon....she is being treated, but I don't agree with her treatment plan and have been seeking out a second opinion from another vet. If anyone else has dealt with anemia, please let me know how it was resolved. I am losing sleep over this :cry:
Another post lol. My beardie does not like enclosures. Her tank is the kids room and she has created a nesting/bed spot in the corner. She will cuddle with my son but she know when the lights are out and the kids go to sleep, she literally goes to her bed like she is our 3rd baby. I love her. And to think, I never wanted a beardie lol
Please help. My beardie is my baby and I am worried she may be egg bound but I can't tell. She is over 2 yrs old and has never laid an egg. She has been swollen for two days and can't tell if she may be impacted or egg bound. Please help.
I'm still looking to adopt. I live near Homerville Georgia.
