Was talking to my mom on the phone today when she said (because shes looking into getting her own beardie) "Oh! I was reading today and i read that you can train a baby bearded dragon to mainly eat an industrial diet (that prepacked/made pellet BS they sell in stores)!"
I'm like like don't its stupid and they won't eat it because it doesn't move. They show no interest in it. I had some in my bearded dragon's dish for 3 days and he licked 1 pellet once and that was it, don't waste your time.
She then says "but why? it's cheaper to just do the industrial pellet stuff"
If she's going to take the cheap route with her dragon i'm just going to advise her not to get one because i'm not going to stand idle while this thing gets malnurished and whatnot.
So what's you're take on the industrial pellet food? Would you use it as a staple or would you say hell no and go the route of crickets as a staple with the pellets as a treat or even just sticking them in the salad? Also, i asked my mom about investing in dubias and she said hell no, never, not in this house. (i guess shes afraid of an infestation? oh well, there's no changing her mind :roll: )
