If you’re planning to buy a Bearded Dragon, why would you want to think about insects? Because that’s what they eat. Actually, it’s only a portion of what they like to eat and need to have as a staple in their diet. They also have to some fruits and plenty of vegetables. The feeding time schedule is different for the little ones than it is for a full grown Beardie. As with an infant child, juvenile Beardies need a lot to eat in order to grow. They need to be watched with almost the same tender loving care you’d give to a baby. Watch out for their nutritional needs and their housing needs to.

With a Bearded Dragon why would you need to be careful with their housing needs? Don’t they survive well in captivity? The answer to that is yes, but only as long as they have their requirements met. You cannot stick a Beardie in any type of enclosure and expect him to thrive. You need an enclosure where he’s free to roam around and you need that enclosure to give him both space to warm up and space to cool off. Your Beardie will let you know by certain behaviors whether or not he’s too cold or too hot. If he gets too hot, you’ll see a panting type action. If he gets too cold, he’ll become lethargic.

When you love a pet that’s a Bearded Dragon why would you need to know about how to take care of impaction situations? Because it’s a common problem among these lizards. They either eat something that’s too big for them or they swallow something they shouldn’t and a problem develops. More often than not, an attentive owner can quickly solve the problem without further care by placing the Beardie in a warm (never hot!) bath.
