Bearded Dragon Diet Nutritional Information

The more variety you can offer them, the better it is. That will keep nutritional deficiencies to a minimum and usually keeps what you are talking about from happening.

Here's a different list, it's a bit more current than the beautiful dragons one. http://greathousefarm.com/Greathouse-Reptile-Nutrition-List.pdf

Except that information listed in that table about butterworms and hornworms. Ugh. Im not sure how that exact same information just gets regurgitated by people over and over again. Looks like a few of the live foods listed there could use some work though. Seems like they may have not been careful when comparing various dry matter or wet matter measurements (listing the earthworms as 62% protein for instance).

This one is a little better for some common feeder inverts (with the exception of the same silly information about hornworms)

Here is an extremely useful link for finding the nutritional values of common beardie diet items.

Anyone know about feeding lavender occasionally? It’s in the mint family, which is on the list?

Lavender is on the safe list if you check out www.beautifuldragons.com there is a long list

I have to agree. I have not done a whole lot with beardies, but this has been a great guide. I've seen I think either this one of another one on I think what was the "original" "bearded dragon forum". I had been there off and on a few times and then couldn't find it. The one I did find was a bit different than the one I had originally found and then found this one. I do have a query about alfalfa for beardies. My understanding that the plant IS a good staple but not the sprouts as they don't have the nutrition. two things I've found are that the sprout seeds are not quite the same as the regular alfalfa seeds. For one, the regular have, or may have chemicals or additives. What I can't find now is something I just saw suggested that alfalfa sprout seeds will not give you the nutritional value of regular alfalfa seeds. I'd also be interested to find out if anyone's tried feeding their beardies alfalfa and whether they have had any success. Thanks.

My bearded is a little over a year old and she still isn't eating greens like she should. I have tried almost every kind of green there is the only thing she will eat are peas. Thats all the green she will eat any ideas on how to get her to eat more greens?
