HEy BEardy lovers....... I got a bearded Dragon with little to no experience. My Dragon was NOT eating, So I decided that "Carrots & sweet potato" or "Peas and cabbage" would be his food of choice. I bought some organic baby food. "He loves the baby food squeeze pouches." Take your time, this will be a patience builder..... Now he is starting to eat thinly sliced carrots and some peas & loves cabbage........ If Dragon does not eat food, feed him baby food. Ive been feeding him carrot baby food for months...... now that he is 1 year, he is starting to chew and eat. Real food....... My baby was 4 weeks old when I adopted him/her. Yesterday was his/her 1 year. TIP: Mix calcium powder with the baby food & feed it to him with a spoon or a syringe. Dragon LOVES IT..... no objections..... Just watch you don't put it up his tiny nostrils..... GOOD LUCK & I hope your Dragon grows up big and long.

Please do not feed cabbage -- peas occasionally -- here is a website for nutrition
ignore the kale info it is out dated and a good staple feeder

causes for not eating is surface basking temps they should be taken w/ a digital probe thermometer and UVB -- NO coils --- a long tube fixture of good quality and placed and distanced for the screen on the tank

I use sun light and plants...... The real way of life for a Bearded dragon from the desert areas...
