Try to avoid things like spinach and broccoli which bind calcium (this is similar problem to diet of iguanas, that you can read about on this website). Baby spring mix can also be very good for them. You’re also gonna need really good plants and a variety of them. You can buy them in bulk online – because dragons can really go through the insects.
So you’re gonna need various different kinds of insect feeders – which could mean things like dubia roaches, crickets, superworms . These guys are omnivores, which means they meat and plants and they need a lot of variety when it comes to meat and plants. There are actually a lot of drawbacks to bearded dragon care. One of them, and a big one, is that their diet is somewhat complex. When it comes to care, I’d give them a 3 out of 5. With normal handling they’re just gonna do great, they’re gonna be mellow and they’re gonna hang out. I adore bearded dragon – you can tell. But you can hand them to a relatively small child and as long as they’re well supervised and you make sure they’re not going to drop, kick them or squeeze them hard. Not too rough, you always want to be careful with them. A bearded dragon is no more likely to lose its tail than your cat is.Īdditionally they’re big enough that they can handle a little bit of rough handling. Something I adore about the Agamid lizards, which are the group that the bearded dragons belong to, is that they don’t lose their tails! It’s the greatest thing ever, that a lizard could have as an attribute, is it doesn’t drop its tail so you don’t have to worry about that with a bearded dragon.
Bearded dragon spring mix skin#
They do have nails but they’re not gonna break the skin or anything. You’re not gonna bleed because they scratched you. They’re unlikely to scratch you, and if that happens you’ll get superficial little cuts.
I have accidentally been nipped as part of a feeding response by a bearded dragon but I’ve never been bitten by a dragon while I was holding it. And for a while people were like “is that real?” and then it turns its head and they just “whoa!” It’s the coolest thing they’ve ever seen in their lives – they love him.īearded dragons are unlikely to bite you. So if you put them on your arm they’ll climb up on your shoulder they’ll hang out – they’re good to go. I’ve been places before where I set a bearded dragon on a table and it just sat there for an hour, hour and a half, during a class or or a seminar and just looked at people. They like to be in the highest place they can get to. You can see how they are happy to just hang out with you. Other than that they’re just unbelievable. You can give them a little rinse off, no worries. If you give them a little bath before you handle them they will do their business in there. The good news is that is because bearded dragons come straight from nature basically potty trained. That could be a big deal for some people. The only reason they didn’t get a 5 out of 5 is because you’ve got to be careful that they don’t poop on you. Handlingįor handling I’d give them a 4 out of 5.
