Whats your bearded dragon's favorite food?

[the4campbells]

I am wanting to "spice up" my bearded dragon's diet and was wanting to know what other bearded dragon's favorite foods are. I know about beautiful dragons list of food do's and don'ts, I just wanted to know what they actually like to eat.

What's their favorites and is there a special way they like to eat? I know my beardie likes to be hand fed and then when he is done, he turns his head and closes his eyes!

Thanks everyone!! Have a great day!!

LOL about Dozer. I have four cats so don't send him here. LOL!

My beardie just likes crickets so far...that's it.

I would have to say that Amber's favorite food is between pinkies (which I give her 1 every month or more) and she also loves hornworms! Gatwick ABSOLUTELY loves Dubias and basically anything he can chase! Ace loves carrots and I have now found out that he loves Wax worms (thanks to lindasgonebuggie for the variety pack and they were included!) I have never had Ace look at me with the face of "Thats all you're gonna give me?!!!" until I fed him the wax worms.

Andy loves hornworms, and berries (messy though)

 

[Cocky]

Locusts, sometimes they will eat 2 at a time if they are close enough together in the tub.

Mine love Dubia and Superworms for feeders, and Collard Greens and Butternut Squash

 

[Dementeddogz]

Lizzie loves lettuce, and anything else for that matter. Before we switched off crickets shed chase down every single one she saw at lightning speed.
spike loves superworms. Hes one of those dragons that wait for food to come to him, but superworms and he will come to you

Balrog: she LOVES superworms and silkworms
Goldorak: can't have enough Dubias!

In the summer, both go crazy for dandelion

Dandelion greens, turnip greens, collard greens. The only non green veggie I can get my 3 to eat is yellow squash. Mine love their superworms and their crickets.

My girl loves her crickets and so far as veggies go kale and butternut squash

Dex's favorite so far are locusts. He LOVES them. I buy "5th hoppers" which are about 2"-3" long (2/3 sheds away from fully grown).

He also eats Crickets (both black and brown), and today I bought some Morri's because they were in the same 3 for £6 tubs as crickets and locusts and I like to give him some variety.

Next month I'll be starting my dubia colony so long as he likes them. (not gotten around to buying some to find out yet as the only place I can get them is the internet.)

He's gone off his veg as of late, might eat a mouthful or two a day where he used to eat a whole bowl.

I'm not too worried though because he's active and I gutload all his feeders with the same veg I feed him. (sneaking it in there one way or another)

Thanks for all the replies, its fun to hear what your beardies' like.

CaptainPoppin-We have a pretty good dubias colony going. He doesn't eat a lot (maybe 5-6 a day or every other day), so we have lots. We just have them in a large rubbermaid, with egg cartons and papertowel rolls and one side of the rubbermaid is heated with "tank heater" (a long cord that's heated, thats meant to go inside a tank, ie around a tree or something like that I think?). Good luck on getting yours going!
