Sexy sez- I give my juvie beardie those kinds of pellets mixed in with his salads everyday, he LOVES to crunch on them =] though i suggest soaking them in water for 5 minutes to soften them for safer eating. They do contain vitamins and minerals your beardie should have but the pellets arent generally a need. You dont have to feed them to him as long as you are giving him calcium dust on his crickets and whatnot, or sprinkling it on his salad. I give mine calcium everyday and then a multivitamin once a week but i still like to give him the pellets cuz he likes them so much. Depends on the beardie though, some dont like them.
