What to feed your baby bearded dragon?

The best diet for a baby bearded dragon is what they call "pinhead crickets" which are basically really tiny crickets. They also need fresh greens like romaine lettuce and need to be misted several times a day for the first couple of weeks after they are hatched. As they get bigger they stop needing to be misted because they get moisture from their greens. You may also want to think about a calcium supplement powder to sprinkle onto the crickets as well as the greens. The most important thing to remember about bearded dragons is that they are desert lizards and need high heat as well as high levels of UVB light to thrive. If they do not have both of these they will die.

Why is an earthworm best to feed a bearded dragon lizard?

Earthworms can be part of a good diet for bearded dragons, which also eat crickets, silkworms, feeder roaches, chopped collards, mustard greens, dandelion greens, and turnip tops. Earthworms have a good calcium/phosphorus ratio (like silkworms), while crickets should be supplemented with calcium powder. Earthworms do pose a risk of transmitting capillaria parasite. Captive reptiles that eat live foods should be tested annually for internal parasites, as part of their regular annual vet checkup.


Can bearded dragons eat coconut?

No. Feed them crickets, mealworms or roaches from a local pet store no bigger than the width between the Bearded Dragon's eyes. That should be half the diet (about 80% when it's a baby). The rest should be dark leafy greens like collard greens, spinach (there are myths that spinach is harmful because of oxylates, but this is false), kale, and bok choy. Lettuce isn't a very good staple food, even romaine.

Pellets consist mainly of corn, which shouldn't be a Beardie's staple food. Feed your Bearded Dragon as many crickets as it'll eat in 10-15 minutes (once a day for an adult, three times a day for a baby) and offer Collards, Mustard Greens, and/or Dandelion Greens every day. Be sure to mist the greens with water and dust the crickets with calcium powder.
