![]() How bad would it be to feed him those until I can get more BSFL? What about butterworms? Are they another good “staple” I can add to the rotation? He’ll eat some greens & squash during the day but is definitely holding out for the good stuff. I do not want to go back to the shop I bought him from & the other reptile shop locally has debatable reviews plus I don’t know what feeders they have or how clean they are. I had ordered from on Sunday but it’s been delayed. The shop said he’s about 8mo old which his length matches. He was eating 10-15 Phoenix worms when he would actually eat. We’ve had him a bit over 2 weeks with a pretty rough start. Pick one of the three and can have once a week if available.Our lil guy has suddenly made himself at home & turned into a piggy the last few days. When we have them, we feed our bearded dragon five waxworms every day.Ĭan occasionally have waxworms, phoenix worms or mealworms. Fix a small bowl of fruits/veggies daily for them to chow on.Also waxworms can be fed as a treat. They can be fed turnip greens, collards, kale, mustard greens, romaine, endive, escarole, dandelion, green beans, squash, peas, sweet potato, cilantro, red bell peppers, and in small amounts grapes, raspberries, blueberries, or cantaloupe. Add 5-6 mealworms to the top of the mixture.ĭO NOT EVER feed spinach or lightening bugs to dragons. Add a small amount of apple pieces to the bowl and mix in. Add Kale or Romaine lettuce to the mixture and mix contents of the bowl so he/she can't pick out their favorites. Alternate between calcium and mineral mix each feeding.įriday- Defrost carrots, corn, and peas and place in bowl. Crickets do not need to be handfed, and before adding crickets to cage, count the remaining crickets and add the difference.Thursday- Add 10-15 large crickets to the cage, crickets should be dusted in either calcium powder or mineral mix. Alternate between calcium and mineral mix each feeding. Add 10-15 large crickets to the cage, crickets should be dusted in either calcium powder or mineral mix. Wednesday-Defrost carrots, corn, and peas and place in bowl. Crickets do not need to be handfed, and before adding crickets to cage, count the remaining crickets and add the difference. For example, if you feed calcium sprinkled crickets on Monday, then on Wednesday use the mineral mix. Add 10-15 large crickets to the cage, crickets should be dusted in either calcium powder or vitamin mix. Monday- Defrost carrots, corn, and peas and place in bowl. We feed our bearded dragon Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday only. The "cooler" side of the cage is kept around 70 degrees F (21.11 degrees C). We try to make the "heat" side of his cage around 100 degrees F (37.77 degrees C). ![]() We use an infrared thermal heat gun to check the temperature of our cage regularly. The timer is set for a 12/12 light cycle. We use Zoo Med ReptiTherm® Under Tank Heater, Large. We place the light on a timer. Make sure the heat pad is placed under the same side as the light. We also provide a large sized heat pad under the cage. Lighting and Temperatureīearded Dragons are diurnal lizards, therefore they require a UVB bulb. Replace soiled newspaper, provide fresh water, remove old food, and moisten humidor box daily. One can use pesticide free branches and rocks for climbing materials. ![]() The humidore box assists with humidity, and must be kept moist. The Tupperware container is used as a humidore box, and has a hole cut in the side because this lizard prefers entrance from the side rather than the top. In our enclosure we have two climbing surfaces, low resting bowls for food and water and a Tupperware container that is filled halfway with coconut husk. ![]() Inland Bearded Dragons are semi-arboreal (they like to climb), so they need at least one climbing surface. In our cage we use newspaper for substrate, however Jurassic Sand can be substituted if they are over 6 inches long (you do not want them to become impacted). In our classroom we use a Neodesha enclosure which is about a 36" inch (91.44 cm) enclosure. ![]() The Inland Bearded Dragon is a moderately sized lizard, however they need a large enclosure. ![]()
