what do bearded dragons eat

Bearded dragons are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals. Their diet should be diverse and include a wide range of food, from live insects like crickets, mealworms, and kingworms to vegetables like kale, collard greens, and shredded carrots. They can also eat limited amounts of fruit. Young bearded dragons tend to be primarily carnivorous, while adults tend to be more herbivorous. Vegetables should make up 25% of a young bearded dragons food and half of an adults. Its important to remove any vegetables that have not been eaten so they do not go bad inside their habitat. Fruits should be fed sparingly as top dressing only, as they are generally mineral-poor. Its also important to gut load any insects your dragon eats, meaning youll feed your insects what youre not feeding your dragon that week so your pet gets the nutritional variety and value of whatever the insect has eaten.
