Watering Bearded Dragons

I float my salad on a plate of water and mist my babies once a week. If a dragon appears dehydrated, soak and spray.

Interesting fact: Bearded dragons will inflate like a balloon when they are in deep water.

Feeding Bearded Dragons

Bearded dragons are fun and easy to feed. Different sized dragons have different diets. Adults need more salad and require less insects. Baby dragons require more insects and less salad. This does not a apply to gravid (pregnant) bearded dragons.

Salad
I feed my bearded dragons salad every other day. I recommend Kale, Collards, Mustard greens, and a little shredded carrot.

Salad should be chopped up to a suitable size.

Insects

I feed my bearded dragons gutloaded crickets, superworms, and dubia roaches. Twice a day to my young dragons. Bearded dragons grow very quick and should be fed often to maximize their growth rate.

Supplements

Bearded dragons require supplemental calcium. There is calcium, and calcium with D3. Plain Calcium is for reptiles raised outside with natural sunlight. Calcium with D3 is for reptiles raised indoors under artificial light. Dust crickets with calcium powder daily. If you don’t use the proper calcium powder regularly your bearded dragons will probably just die.
