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.

Mirage is shedding....he seems to be feeling itchy lol. Giving him a bath later today. Can Aloe be used on bearded dragons?
Gus - he’s a rescue!
How much water should I be giving my bearded dragon? He will only drink from a dropper when I drop on his nose and I’m not sure if I should give it to him until he won’t drink anymore? Or should I stop after he’s had a certain amount?
Just want to check that if my beardie is ok I managed to get a video of him yawning today and screenshot him with his mouth open does he have mouth rot??? He is eating and drinking normally btw, the discoloration on his left of the mouth has been there for a month but the discoloration on his right side is new
