I'm new from Reddit so I'm still looking around the Lemmyverse. I hope more folks from the reptile forums there take a chance and migrate over here.
I have a bearded dragon that's about a year old. She's a champ. I've read that at some point, they shift to being mostly vegetarian with some bugs once in a while. I don't think she got the memo. She still vastly prefers bugs to salads. I guess I get her to eat a salad 1-2 times per week. But she chomps down on superworms and crickets. I'm raising dubias that I hope to shift to instead of crickets though. I figure I've got a few more months before the colony is ready for me to start getting feeders from it.
Anyway, when to beardies start to need less protein? How often does a mature bearded dragon need bugs?
Thx!
I came here from reddit too. Have you tried dandelion greens and flowers? My beardie goes crazy for those. He loves his bugs too though. I'm glad he mostly eats his greens. They are such goofballs. I have a water dragon and some geckos too. And two snakes. Was happy to find this group.
