dust its crickets with calcium, and put your beardie in an opaque box so he wont attack his reflection. leave him there about ten minutes and check on him. as for salad, babies dont usually eat salad, but it should always be available to them. move the salad around so it looks alive and brush it against your beardies nose. he may eat from your hand, or the bowl the salad is in. try to feed him mustard greens, squash, any dark leaf, or some fruits like blueberrys, blackberries, and rasberries.
hope this helped :)
If you are finding it hard to feed your beardy veggies etc, like i did what i did was just get a spoon of mealworms and put a bit off veg on the bottom of the bowl then put the mealworms on top then veg again on top of the mealworms and it makes it look like the salad is moving :) and hopefully your beardy will be eating them in no time , my bearded is only 3 months old and i have had it for 10 days and i have gotten it eating out its dish and eating veggies hope this works for you good luck :) x
Some beardies are just picky but try to limit the amount of insects you feed it so it may want to eat the veggies..... they improve on the idea of eating vegetables as they get older just keep providing them and he will try them once in a while...it also may be your lighting.....you will need to buy uva bulbs...if you have any questions email me...

Try mincing them, the reptile will know when it is deficient in the nutrients the fruits/vegetables are providing, also you may be using the wrong things, try using different types of squash and avoid any sort of lettuce seeing as it is characteristically mostly water and has little nutritional value. Carrots should be used only as a treat, beardies don't absorb a lot of the Vitamin A in the carrot and too much of it can lead to Vitamin A toxicity, which can potentially kill your pet. Also, try to avoid anything with citrus in it such as Oranges and grapefruit. Give it some time before worrying too much, if your beardie starts to seem lethargic or increasingly inactive, seek an exotic vet who specializes in reptiles.
It is probably best that you not try to force your bearded dragon to eat - you can cause major problems like aspiration pneumonia or cellulitis of the throat and mouth if you get the food into the wrong space. It would be better to take your bearded dragon to a veterinarian with experience in treating reptiles to figure out why your bearded dragon isn't eating. This could be anything from infection to cancer, and treatment for the underlying cause should also resolve the inappetence.
If it won't eat for over a week then yes you should take it to the vet however there are many potentially fixes. Sometimes while they bask until the heat lamp their mouth will be open, you can sneak some greens in their mouth then. If they will only eat insects but won't touch their vegetables then dont feed then insects, just vegetables. If after the week they still won't eat then feed then insects in the morning and leafy greens in the afternoon or alternate days, whatever. Remember, all dragons are different and your Beardie may be going through brumation. Even then you must still wake them up every couple days to feed them and keep doing this until they poop (if they've eaten).
The diet plan of a bearded dragon consists of between 25 and 50 insects per week such as crickets and worms and salad using a variety of greens, vegetables and fruits.
No, bearded dragons should not be fed bacon. Bacon is high in fat, salt, and preservatives, which can be harmful to a bearded dragon's digestive system. It is best to stick to a diet of insects, vegetables, and fruits for bearded dragons.
The diet should consist of proteins (such as crickets, mealworms, superworms, and waxmoth larvae) and vegetables/fruits (peas, carrots, Boston lettuce, strawberries etc.)
No, do not feed your dragon any sort of spicey vegetable or fruite. The best vegetation for bearded dragons is romaine lettuce, carrots, kale, magos, apples, and other collard greens. Older dragon require more vegetables and fruit than younger ones.
You sure can try. Unfortunately they are mostly going to eat live food. Crickets, mealworms, etc. When they get older, they will also eat fruits and vegetables. They don't usually eat prepared food.
You can but you shouldn't. In the wild they don't eat fish, they aren't used to digest their scales and bones. Bearded dragon optimally eat insects, although can also eat considerably smaller lizards or even mammals if they have to. You should restrain yourself from giving anything other than insects (and fresh fruits/vegetables).
A red light bearded dragon requires a warm and spacious habitat with proper lighting, heating, and humidity levels. They need a varied diet of insects, vegetables, and fruits, as well as regular baths and clean water. Regular veterinary check-ups and monitoring of their behavior and health are also important for their well-being.
Bearded dragons prefer lettuce to eat. They can also eat other vegetables such as carrots. They will eat some types of meat as well, but they prefer vegetables and some fruits.
an inch, but i don't know why u would want to know. I just got my Bearded dragon a little bit ago it is a great pet and very hardy.
Fiber containing fruits and vegetables
ARE YOU DUMB? vegetables and fruits don't have fat
They are fruits, but for culinary purposes are treated as vegetables
