Beardies can have regular soaks even as juveniles, especially when they are shedding. Use warm water and fill a container no higher than Lucky Man's shoulder. Never leave him unsupervised while he is bathing. Bearded dragons are omnivorous. They eat plant and animal matter. Greens and veggies should make up about 20% of the diet. Acceptable foods include carrots, green beans, squash, mustard greens, collard greens and dandelion greens. Prey should be of appropriate size. Beardies can eat crickets, locusts or dubia roaches. Wax worms can be offered as treats. Never feed insects caught indoors or in the yard. Raise your own, buy online or from a pet store. They do enjoy being held once acclimated and are very curious about their environment. Follow the link for more information: http://www.anapsid.org/bearded.html
