What baby food is okay to feed my dragon?

[CiaraAlexisOnFire]

-What kinds of food (like squash, peas, ect.) is okay to feed him?

-Is there anything I should avoid such as a certain amount of sugar, or a certain ingredient?

Thanks in advance!

I did'nt know you could feed beardies baby food. hmmmmm! I hate squash myself so maybe babyfood squash is the way to go. Any other types in the veggies or fruits you can feed them in babyfood????? Thanks Brandon.

my vet, told me the brightest ones the better so i stick with carrots, squash, sweet potatoes (she really likes this one). My dragons are 3 months old they refuse to eat there salads or fruit, so my vet told me to give them baby food and it helps if u put a little yogurt and mix them together. It works they like it.

My 10-week-old beardies love crickets the best, but they also snack on pureed squash baby food. Make sure the label just says "squash" and nothing else, don't want them to have sugar or chemicals in their bellies.

Is it still ok to feed babyfood if your dragon is just over a year old. Draco was born August 2010.

 

[RobotLover]

Yes don't see why not. It's not bad for them. U just have to pick the right ones

Thanks everyone,
So he can basically eat any kind of baby food that he is allowed to eat when they are whole?
Like blueberry, carrots, or strawberry?

And I thought they couldn't eat potatos?

 

[RobotLover]

Well sweet potatoes is yams and yams is on the ok list. I would stick with only that one

I've only ever fed baby food to adult dragons, when they have been sick.

Oh alright, I might try sweet potatos then, it seems like something he'd like.

I fed my bearded dragon baby food when he was having bathroom issues, and he LOVED it. So I decided to make that a part of his diet

just as a heads up, Sweet Potato is a Feed Rarely on the beautiful dragon chart...apparently it is slightly different from yams which is feed occasionally. Sweet Potato is listed under Potato, Sweet which makes it kind of tricky to find. High vit. A (171 IU/g), mod. oxalates (1000 ppm)....Yams seem to have a worse C ratio but there are no notes to explain why it is in black and sweet potato is in blue...??
I've no personal knowledge on this stuff...just relaying what I noticed.

 

[RobotLover]

It shows yams are in black. Is there a different list maybe? I don't give it to her much but when I do she loves it and nothing happens. Thanks for the info

Yams are in black but sweet potato is in blue. look up on the list in the Ps Potato, Sweet.
I gave some to my dragon for the same reason..saw yam, didn't see the sweet potato because I looked under the S section not the P section. He liked it, also. I'm sure a little bit once isn't going to hurt anything.

I give my beardie squash baby food occasionally and she absolutely loves it. I tried sweet potato and she wasn't thrilled.
