food for little Pogo's...

     First we should cover that under 6 months your Beardie should be feed 80% Bugs 20% Veggies. 6-12 months it should be 50 50 and after 12 months 80% Veggies 20% Bugs.

     Your Dragon's diet should consist of DARK Leafy (not lettuce), Vegetables, and Bugs. 

The following list is not from experience, just research.

My favorite Leafy greens are, 

  • Collard greens
  • Dandelion greens
  • Mustard greens
  • Turnip greens
My current list of Veggies are,
  • any kind of Squash.
  • Green beans.
  • Bell peppers.
My bugs of choice Bugs of choice are,
  • Dubia roaches.
  • Phoenix worms.
  • Madagascar Hissing cockroaches.
  • Super worms. (only for Adults and Sub-Adults)
Fruit that I like,
  • Apples
  • Melons
  • Strawberries
  • Blueberries
  • Melons
  • Prickly pears
  • Papaya
Herbs (I have an herb garden that all of my pets love.)
  • Basil
  • Apple mint
  • Peppermint 
Ocasional treats,
  • Silk worms (can be a Staple, but very expensive and fragile) 
  • Horn worms 
  •  Butter worms.

things to avoid feeding all the time are,
  • Spinach, contains oxalates which can bind to Calcium, which in great quantity can cause MBD.
  • Kale. same as Spinach.
  • Lettuce, contains a lot of water, but not many Nutrients.
  • Anything high in sugar.
  • Bell Peppers
 Things to avoid,

  • Avocados (Poisonous)

That is it for now. If you have any suggestions please put them in the comments
