My bearded dragon comes running

Recently adopted a bearded dragon. The person who gave it to me fed it mealworms which I found out after some research is not the best way to feed a very young bearded man because they cause a blockage condition due to their chitinous envelope so I decided to a little guy to get some crickets. When I read about their nutritional needs I almost fell out of my chair - some experts say young bearded dragons need 30-50 small crickets PER DAY to achieve normal growth. But the thought of housing and feeding hundreds of live crickets in my apartment was too much. So I decided to take a risk with some dead. I was shocked at how much my bearded ones liked them. He's like a bottomless pit - he won't stop eating them until I stop offering them. So I give him 2-3 times a day 7-10 at a time and occasional pumpkin and vegetable puree. He's a lucky tourist. He gets his protein and I don't have to chase escaped crickets all over the house. This is a win-win situation. Crickets are very small (1/4 to 1/3 inch). If your dragon likes to hunt, use blunt tweezers to hang it over your head. The jar is resealable and comes with a small plastic spoon. You are actually paying for the convenience and really getting your money's worth.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Disappears
