    80% plant matter
    20% insects

    I’ve been so fortunate that my dragons have always *loved* salad. They were the first reptile I kept outside of an already established tortoise and I was terrified of messing everything up. Oddly, while they would eat greens, my little boy was on a veritable hunger strike with bugs for about the first six months o had him he literally would eat like 2 crickets or 1 dubia a week, if I was lucky. Now he shovels it in hand over fist.

He kind of likes blueberries, zucchini, and peas- but only the rehydrated ones from the pellet food XD

    Hi Tricia. Re-watching your beardie care videos, as I'm going to be fostering a beardie soon. Though I've never owned one myself, I've watched tons of videos from you and other reputable reptile youtubers and feel confident I can give a good temporary home... if I don't end up keeping him for myself. 😁
    Is your Etsy store still active? I noticed it's completely empty. I know the past year has been tough on you. So totally understand if you decided not to anymore. But just wondering.

    • @youreinvalid8493
      @youreinvalid8493 2 роки тому

      They're called superworms and they're not a good staple food, meaning that shouldn't be what you mostly feed him. He is over a year, so his diet should be mostly green and vegetables. Superworms are very fatty and their exoskeleton can cause impaction if fed in large amounts. Dubai Roaches, gut loaded crickets or horn worms are better option.

    Loved this video! I did notice you mentioned something throughout the video and wanted to let you know. Botanically, tomato, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, squash, and pumpkin etc. are actually fruits! (If it has seeds, it’s a fruit. If it had no seeds, it’s a vegetable!) I think when it comes to fruit you just want to avoid giving your beardie too much citrusy fruits.

    So I just watching the video right above this one from Elli's reptiles and they gave much different info, staples are the same for greens same with things that you shouldn't feed them but the other then that the feeding times, suppliments and bug info are totally different. This is why it's so hard to get proper info on your animals, both dragons are healthy but owners have much different ways of feeding them

    I have given Moxer every food you mentioned, but he only eats meal worms and baby arugula. I've explained it to several people and he is almost a year now. He doesn't like red colors and he wont eat fruit at all. I sprinkle calcium on everything he does eat. I've spent a lot of money on food, only to throw it all away.

    I heard carrots are (if i remember correctly) not too great for them. Some people say it makes them throw up or get backed up from them. They said something else but i forgot, so now i am a bit confused.

    Most fruits are high in acidity. Too much fruit can cause gut problems. My bearded loves fruit (literally anything sweet he'll eat) but I learned quick it needs to be a treat/rarely fed and nothing more. He got sick, not because he ate the wrong thing, I just fed him too much fruit thinking it was good for him (diarrhea, constipation, effecting his shedding, you name it. He didn't have fun for about a month). Having a real plant that grows, that your lizard can munch on whenever, is never a bad decision. Having a real plant that they can eat whenever was a life changer. It doesn't have to be huge and you can get leafy greens that grow fast and low maintenance fairly easy. My beardy doesn't have the best enclosure (hopefully will change soon) but just having a potted green plant in the enclosure helped a bunch. He's transitioning from very small to a young adult. He is still under 1 year, so lots of bugs still, but we are transitioning to more greens. Have a source of greens for them 24/7. Helps with hydration, gets them more used to veggies, greens, and fruits.

      Look at about 50 seconds into the video, she mentions how at a young age they require more protein (insects) than the vegetables/salad. Young bearded dragons can eat all the same things but require a lot smaller sized insects as well as being fed them more.

      •Julia• Morais• it’s alright, I hope I helped you out. Make sure you also have a UVB strip light for a ‘desert’ reptile (read the package to see how long it will last and take note of the date you’ll need a new one) and also a heat lamp with a cage to cover it if it’s in the enclosure and a thermostat to regulate the heat.

      Stilaanimallover Thanks for the tips! I already know this from having leopard geckos and a corn snake, but either way this will be helpful for other people!
