Our Dragon is 6 years old and only occasionally eats crickets and/or mealworms. She'll eat about 18-24 crickets in a serving once a week. However, she enjoys stringbeans, mixed green salad (not iceberg lettuce or spinach since both are not good for a dragon), grapes, and strawberry (cut up). If you're giving your Dragon these foods, you don't really need the live food all that often when they're mature.

Should you crush up crickets to feed to week old bearded dragons?
You shouldn't need to. Any reptile shop will either sell, or be able to order in 'micro crickets' - These are simply newly-hatched crickets about 10 mm in size. The only drawback will be finding something secure to house them in once you get them.

What age do you stop feeding crickets to bearded dragons?
Ok don't listen to that person they don't know much about bearded dragons. I Feed them 3 crickets a day each, sometimes more, sometimes less. As adults they should eat 3 the same except way bigger. As babies, your bearded dragons should be fed a good amount of crickets, but you should try to feed them more vegetables. It is true that the younger your baby bearded dragons are, the more protein from insects they need; but if you do not get them started on greens, they will not want to eat them as much when they get older. You should probably feed them crickets twice or three times a week, and try to feed them vegetables every other day in order to provide them with the right nutrients

Can bearded dragons eat bananas?
Yes you can, but only occasionally you don't want to feed it watermelon everyday it could be as a treat. Watermelon can be fed to bearded dragons but is not of much use to them because it is mostly water. It will give them the runs and cause them to be dehydrated. This is similar to lettuce as it is often fed to beadies by owners that are not aware there is no nutritional value in lettuce and it will also give them the runs.
