[QUOTE="Fionnuala, post: 1998979, member: 115992"] Back story: So I recently rescued my old bearded dragon (8yr old) from my parents house. He was with them for 2 years after I had moved out for college, but on my last trip home, I realized that he had a eye issue, and took him to a vet (who doesn't specialize in lizards and rarely sees them). I was informed that he had a ruptured cornea, and brought him back to my new home with me. I now have a vet appt. set up with a exotic animals vet next Wednesday. Details: So, now with having grown up myself, I've realized that the food he was given was not appropriate, I think, I'm not sure. All Buffy has ever eaten in his life has been "Rep-Cal Adult Bearded Dragon Food- Maintenance Formula" some crickets and mealworms. When he was younger, he would also get some lettuce, strawberries and blueberries. Now, with me becoming an adult, I can recognize that it wasn't the best for him and I'm working to improve his diet, but i'm not sure how.... Currently: I'm transitioning him using the juvenile version of that food (couldn't find the adult one) and dandelion leaves, arugula and romaine lettuce, some blueberries and strawberries, or at least trying to. I've also been feeding him one or two mealworms a day .Additionally, I'm trying to get ahold of some prickly pear cactus for him as well. Does anyone have any recommendations on what else I should add to his diet? [/QUOTE]
