No, absolutely not. Adult bearded dragons do eat a lot of greens, but still must have 2 to 3 large meals of live insects every week. (They should be given as many as they can eat in a single sitting, with leftovers removed after 15 minutes).
Bearded dragons are omnivores, NOT herbivores. The fat and protein in their insect prey is essential to their health, and they cannot digest the types of plants that vegetarian humans use to make a complete diet for an omnivore--they cannot digest grains, legumes, nuts, or seeds.

∙ 12y agoI wouldn't recommend it ! Even though an adult is mainlyvegetarian - there is no substitute for the natural animal protein they get from such creatures as meal-worms, crickets and locusts. Even the occasional 'pinkie' (baby) mouse can be offered as a treat !
I have included a link to the Wikipedia entry on the species - scroll down to the section on diet - for a more comprehensive list of the variety of foods a Beardie will eat !
