  2. First of all, any food item should be no bigger than the space between the eyes.

    Juveniles should be offered crickets or woodies 2 or 3 times a day, as much as they can eat in 5-10 mintues. They should also be offered greens every day, spraying with water can help keep them fresh and keep the beardie hydrated, as young animals don't often drink water by themselves from a bowl.

    The insects should also be dusted with a high quality calcium powder, how many times per week depends on the age of the bearded :

    under a year old ( every day ), 1 - 2 years old ( 6 days a week ), over 2 years old ( 5 days a week ), prebreeding or gravid ( 6 days a week )

    Staple foods include : crickets, alfalfa (plant not sprouts), prickly pear, collard greens, dandelion greens, turnip greens, mustard greens, endive, escarole, all types of squash, silkworms

    Occasional foods include : alfalfa sprouts, peeled apple, apricot, green beans (canned or raw), kidney beans (canned), lima beans (canned), blueberries, bok choy, celery (stalk and leaves), peeled cumcumber, dahlia flower, grapes, mango, peach, pear, pineapple, plum, raw pumpkin, seedless raisins, strawberries, raw zucchini, kale

    Hope this helps!

  3. babies should be reared almost entirely on black crickets, but be careful to only feed the right size, as it grows you can increase the size of the crickets and if not sure go for smaller rather than larger, as it approaches adulthood you can introduce fruit and veggies. make sure you spray drops of water on its nose once a day and bath once a week.

  4. Around 75% of the diet should be feeder insects.  That amounts to about 30-80 1/4 inch (the correct size for hatchlings) crickets a day.  They can also eat locusts, phoenix worms, and silkworms.  

    In addition, they should be offered salad every day in a bowl kept in their tank, although they may not eat it at first.  As long as they are exposed to it young, they should start eating it soon.  Until they begin eating it, just do thin strips of Collard Greens.  If they are already eating greens, or when they begin to, add other greens like Mustard Greens and Turnip Greens, Greens should make up the bulk of the salad.  For a complete list of the different fruits and veggies you can feed your Beardie and how often to feed each, you can check out this site:  http://www.beautifuldragons.503xtreme.co...
