FROM http://www.dachiu.com/care/bbeard.html

Vegetables are an important part of a bearded dragon’s diet and should be offered daily in bite size pieces in a shallow dish or lid. Arrange the dish or lid filled with vegetables within the dragons view from his basking spot. You should mainly stick with leafy greens, such as collard greens, mustard greens, dandelion greens, turnip greens, chicory, chard, escarole, and endive - alternating when possible. Remove any hard veins. Do not feed your bearded dragon iceberg lettuce as this can give them 'the runs' and dehydrate them. Just a few of the foods you can supplement with as your dragon grows are, radish tops, broccoli flowers, parsley, shredded carrots, bell peppers, kale, peas, and red cabbage. Please check the USDA Data Base for exact nutrient content of any given fruit/veggie in question... and please remember, bite size pieces.

Supplementation should consist of dusting the crickets every 3-4 feeding with a phosphorous free calcium powder, like Rep-Cal with Vitamin D3. A good vitamin supplement such as Herptivite should be used only once a week. Failure to use the calcium regularly and overuse of the vitamins can both cause problems. If not using a UV-B bulb, you must be faithful in giving the proper calcium/D3 supplements to prevent possible health problems; namely MBD.

To dust crickets - put them in a sandwich bag... add RepCal... shake until the crickets are white... and serve. To Gut Load your crickets - We use 1 part Gut load, 1 part fortified baby cereal... We also offer a cut up orange and carrots for moisture.
