Is this a good staple diet for my bearded dragon?

Question

Collard Greens

Dandelion Greens

Mustard Greens all mixed together

and for protein crickets and silkworms dusted every 5 days

oh and another question when I feed him the greens do I need to chop off the stems first

Answer 1

go to this websight http://www.beautifuldragons.503xtreme.co... it has a color coded sheet on what you can feed your beardie. I actually printed it out and made a schedule on what to feed them on which days. good luck but you are already doing a good job just add a little more variety.

Answer 2

its not bad really and ive see a h**l of a lot worse you've clearly done your homework. but as above i would put in some different veg every now and again (maybe once a week)

  

Answer 3

It really depends on how old your beardy is.  When they're really young they need more protein than fruits and veggies (although you should always give both)  and this shifts over time.  Towards the end of their lifespan they will almost exclusively eat fruits and veggies.  Also, make sure you are dusting the food w/ a vitamin/calcium supplement, it's really important.  

I used to give my beardy a combo of the greens you mentioned plus other fruits and veggies.  When he was a year old though, he would only eat a little bit of that stuff but would eat up to 100 large crickets a day.  It was insanity.  I was constantly buying crickets!

Answer 4

I would give him some varied fruit and vegetables grated up. Greens are not enough and make sure you dust everything with calcium/multi V powder.

There are also Bearded Dragon pellets available as well if you would like to offer him something different.
