I know every dragon is different but what is a bearded dragos favorite bug, fruit, and/or veggie? I just brought mine home two days ago and he hasn't eaten anything. I heard it's common for that in the beginning but still want to know just in case.
Some of it depends on the age of the beardie. If young, make sure any live food is small enough for it. Meal works, crickets or even pinkie mice Here's a good recipe for a reptile salad. Basic Salad Recipe 1/2 cup shredded raw green beans 1/2 cup shredded raw orange-fleshed squash (such as acorn, banana, kabocha, spaghetti, and pumpkin) - you can occasionally alternate with carrots 1 medium or 2 small raw shredded parsnips (in areas where these are seasonally hard to find, you can substitute with asparagus or cooked or canned lima, navy or kidney beans that have been well rinsed and minced or mashed. If you use beans, add extra calcium to offset their high phosphorus) * 1/4 cup mashed/minced fruit (strawberries, raspberries, mangos, papaya, figs, cantaloupe, cactus pear) Alfalfa ** Multivitamin and calcium supplements * If parsnips are a seasonal vegetable where you live, you can use 1/2 cup shredded asparagus, trading off with 1/2 cup drained, rinsed, and chopped canned co

Can i give my Bearded Dragon a bath when he gets older? What do they prefer to eat? What activities do they like most?
Beardies can have regular soaks even as juveniles, especially when they are shedding. Use warm water and fill a container no higher than Lucky Man's shoulder. Never leave him unsupervised while he is bathing. Bearded dragons are omnivorous. They eat plant and animal matter. Greens and veggies should make up about 20% of the diet. Acceptable foods include carrots, green beans, squash, mustard greens, collard greens and dandelion greens. Prey should be of appropriate size. Beardies can eat crickets, locusts or dubia roaches. Wax worms can be offered as treats. Never feed insects caught indoors or in the yard. Raise your own, buy online or from a pet store. They do enjoy being held once acclimated and are very curious about their environment. Follow the link for more information: http://www.anapsid.org/bearded.html

I am thinking about making an outdoor enclosure for my Australian bearded dragon, what plants should I put in for him to feel at home
Bearded dragon owners can also add plants to the habitat, but take care when adding real plants. If a live plant is in the habitat, the bearded dragon might decide to use it as a snack. If the plant is toxic to bearded dragons, your pet could end up very sick, or dead. Artificial plants are the best option since they are easy to clean, never need water, and are very naturalistic. Most pet stores carry a wide variety of artificial plants to choose from. If you decide to use live plants, junipers are one of the most recommended plants to use. Junipers are slow-growing and do not require much water.

my bearded dragon is still pretty small we got him about a month ago we been feeding him about 15 to 20 crickets once a week. I’m pretty new to this so i’m still not quiet sure how often and how much I should be feeding him. is once a week enough and
A young bearded dragon, under 1 year old, should be fed daily. Fed a variety of appropriately sized prey including crickets, dubia roaches, mealworms and Phoenix worms. Gut load all prey for 24 hours prior to offering to maximize nutritional value. This can be done by feeding a high protein baby cereal or tropical fish flakes. Dust all prey with a multivitamin. Dust all prey, except phoenix worms, with a calcium supplement. Feed as many as he will eat in 10-15 minutes. Offer fresh greens and vegetables as well. Be sure they are diced small enough to eat easily. You can review care information at the link below. http://www.anapsid.org/bearded.html
