What Do Bearded Dragons Eat?

Our Bearded dragon Blaze, eating her super worm treats.

Bearded dragons are omnivorous; this means that they eat plants and meat. (Meat is in insect form.) They need protein which comes in 2 Types; Plant protein and animal protein (insects). As babies and juveniles are growing dragons, they will need more animal protein than plant protein. Adults are fully developed and thus require more plant than meat protein. To sum it up, plant protein is equally essential and MUST BE given daily to Adults! A good ratio would be 70% plant protein vs 30% animal protein (insects) for an adult beardie.

Fruits are ONLY “treats” as it contains too much sugar that can be bad for bearded dragons if consumed daily. Once a week for adults is more than enough. Never give fruits to a sick dragon.
