Hey everyone, I'm glad to finally be a part of this site after lurking around for months!
I've always wanted a beardie and got my first one a little bit over a month ago after intense research and preparation. I'm new to beardies, but not to reptiles.
My dragon is around 9 inches from snout to tail tip and eats its crickets, squash,mustard greens and kale well(I also offer dried grasshoppers), and its slowly starting to get used to eating the pelleted food with everything else. I use herptivite once a week and calcium everyday.
I want to know if it's possible to have the diet made completely made up of just the pelleted food at this size/age(I've read a few times that it was fine and also good for the dragons since it had all the nutrients they need, but want to make sure)? I would give dried grasshoppers often to still have insects in the mix. EDIT: Oh, and I would still give veggies!
And I also wanted to know if you could tell what sex it is now? I'm leaning towards female, but it still may be too early to tell(at least for me).
And here's the rest of the darling:
