HUUUGE video! Finding veggies that I can feed my little dude has been a pain because im never entirely certain whats ok and whats not. This is perfect! Thanks again for all you do for bearded dragons.
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate these videos. I was just revamping my Squiggles diet. He’s about 18 months now and recently came out of his first hibernation (brumation whatever term you use ) so I’m just making a few changes. Thank you so much for the guidance. 🙏
Great video once avain Liam thanks. I give my boy a variety of greens/veg and he's been great but he's just started to enter into a spoiled 'F-U' phase with his veg and this has given me a few more ideas to try! Never tried bok choi before. Grew some mustard and dandelion and he's barely had one nibble on them. Tried growing salvia verbenaca after the BeardyVeg video but it failed :/ Also inspired me to maybe try a couple or different roach species! Nice one mate!
Hi Liam, i usually don't comment on anything, but i have always thought dandelion greens are a staple. Will you explain why they are not? Thank you for your videos!
I thought the same calcium about dandelion greens. But he mentioned the high oxalate content being the reason it's only occasional. I'm struggling to feed my girl.
Thanks so much for the info! My dragons are always “well hydrated” and it can make cleaning up their messes…messy. I’ll incorporate alfalfa hay into their diet to help!
Hello! Thanks for the informative video. Just a quick question, I've just looked up the phosphorus and calcium ratio of globe artichoke and it doesn't look good. Why is it recommended as a staple? Thanks! (eddit: Ok, Idk if the data I've found is about the artichoke heart or the leaves)
The are both kale essentially but i was under the impression there was less iodine in spring greens and thus doesnt neutralise goitrogens as much. However, ive worked in shops that fed spring greens out every day so its probably fine, i just played it safe because its the internet haha
“Thanks for replying Liam”. I’ve always associated collard greens as the US term for spring greens in the UK. Didn’t realise there was a difference. Don’t tell me arugula and cilantro are not rocket and coriander😂. If I could pick your brain further. Would mint, basil, parsley be on the occasional list. Do you have a more extensive list you could forward to me? I would appreciate any help!
My dragon is 15 months old and a bit overweight (488g). I only feed him about 6 medium dubias 2x a week with occasional hornworms. For vegetables I've been giving him yellow squash and dandelion greens daily with occasional collared and turnip greens. It seems what I've been going by is way off and maybe the squash is why he's gaining and not losing weight. Do I need to be concerned? I understand the relationship with phosphorus and calcium but what do the oxalates like in dandelion greens effect? My 1st beardie passed of gout from overfeeding dubias as a juvenile so I'm a bit paranoid. Any help would be welcome.
another amazing video thank you. is there anywhere I can access a cop of you're lists you've made in this video i could print for reference? thank you so much
yeah that was my next idea just wanted better quality and being lazy about about re typing! haha thanks for the quick reply tho. found youre vids in the last month and trully inspired me to make an amazing viv for my first beardy @@ReptilesandResearch
@ReptilesandResearch thank you for your response. I live in the Philippines and just trying to find alternatives to the vegetables that you guys have in the UK and in the US.
I (against my will) purchased a BD for my 9 year old granddaughter. I read an article that the BDs have salmonella. This really concerned me because my granddaughter doesn't like to wash her hands. Now I'm stuck taking care of the BD that is a finnacky eater! I regret spending so much money on this BD. What do I do?
bearded dragons only are capable of carrying salmonella, not that they automatically have it. Most dont. If you want to you can test the bearded dragon for salmonella specifically. If you are in the uk you can test here: palsvetlab.co.uk/product/reptile-kits/ im sure theres a usa version too

Glad it’s helpful
What about eggs? I heard that you can give your bearded dragon plain scrambled or hard boiled eggs. What is your thought on this?

Great vid Liam. I’ve spotted you have collard greens in the staples list and spring greens in the occasional list. Are they not the same item?

That’s what a phoenix worm is also called
Hello! Just wanted to ask if Sweet Potato Top okay to feed a Bearded Dragon?
i dont because its so full of sugar
@ReptilesandResearch thank you for your response. I live in the Philippines and just trying to find alternatives to the vegetables that you guys have in the UK and in the US.
Do the feeders listed apply to most of if not all insectivores and do hissing cockroaches count as a feeder as well?
Yes and yes 😀
