Notes on Feeding

Never feed your bearded dragon anything that is larger than the space between its eyes

Misting greens and vegetables with water prior to feeding will make them last longer and add more water to your bearded dragons diet.

Dust insects with calcium powder three times a week.

Dust greens and vegetables with a multivitamin once per week.

Only feed as many insects as a bearded dragon can eat in a 10-15 minute time frame.
