Hi everyone. I am yet to own a Bearded Dragon but I'm set to get one hopefully in the next 4 weeks so I'm just trying to learn what I can. I know that each animal has it's foods that are harmful to them, such as dogs with chocolate, grapes, onions etc and I was wondering if someone could list all the food that is bad for Beardies. I have already heard that lettuce, fireflies and spinach are bad for them, but what other foods should I avoid feeding the little guy?
Go to www.beautifuldragons.com and look at the nutrition page. it lists foods that are both good and bad. It is color coded so you will know what is safe to feed and how often.

they're also known as fireflies. They're bugs that light up at night. I don't think you have them in australia and that's part of our problem with them. Native species tend to know what things are toxic in their home turf. Our native animals know not to mess with them, but to dragons it's just one more bug they haven't tried yet.

Ah yes we definitely don't have those in Australia. I guess that's just an added bonus to owning a native reptile. We also have all the native insects they would eat in the wild.
anything that is bio-luminescent, fire flys (lightning bugs) and glow worms...basically anything that makes its own light with chemicals in the body, my wife had a beardie that got ahold of a fire fly and she ended up dying within minutes
I just saw the list of the foods that was toxic looking for something else yesterday. Avocado and rhubarb. both of which I hate. I generally only buy them veggies that we eat too, so that's why I couldn't remember them.
