A young bearded dragon, under 1 year old, should be fed daily. Fed a variety of appropriately sized prey including crickets, dubia roaches, mealworms and Phoenix worms. Gut load all prey for 24 hours prior to offering to maximize nutritional value. This can be done by feeding a high protein baby cereal or tropical fish flakes. Dust all prey with a multivitamin. Dust all prey, except phoenix worms, with a calcium supplement. Feed as many as he will eat in 10-15 minutes. Offer fresh greens and vegetables as well. Be sure they are diced small enough to eat easily. You can review care information at the link below. http://www.anapsid.org/bearded.html
