Instant Meals?

[XxSIMONExX]

I just went to petsmart to get some crickets and i saw some containers of Healthy Herp Adult Dragon Food Instant Meals. It says all the ingredients are natural (it says dry dandelion greens, dry red clover tops, freeze dried corn and so on) The directions are to fill the cup with water wait a couple minutes and FEED! Is this product ok? I have a 3 year old male bearded dragon. Thanks

I believe it's kinda like processed food for people. it's probably not gonna hurt, but it's not the best choice. It's usually cheaper in the long run to make those things yourself. I probably wouldn't use it more than for just a treat, or if there's an emergency or something.

ROFL sounds like MRE's for reptiles! Processed Foods - our great creation and probably our reason for or start in obesity! Like it was mentioned, it might be good to have on hand as an emergency (in case you have nothing and can't get anything quick), but I'd stick with live food and fresh produce!

If you get some, get the Iguana version- it was the same veggies in it, but without the nasty freeze-dried bugs that are in the beardie version.
I was thinking of maybe getting some for Dudley when school starts again, so I can throw something in his viv for him to snack on during the day untill I can make him a proper salad when I get home from school. IDK though. I bought some for Wink when I had him, but he had a general hated of veggies and he didnt like it so I returned it.

Haha ya it looks like ramen noodles for lizards! And ow that i read the container it does say freeze dried grasshoppers and such. So maybe ill get the iguana one and keep it for an emergency or like b4 school like u said. idk yet
