Just like the food pyramid suggests types of foods for humans to eat to stay healthy, the Bearded Dragon diet contains foods specifically targeted to giving your pet an optimal life full of bright eyed energy. Your pet needs to eat insects as a daily part of his diet. You can find insects through a store that sells them for that purpose or like some Beardie owners, you can use your own supply of insects. Just remember that it’s not okay to catch any kind of bug and drop it in the cage. Some aren’t good for him. You’ll want to make sure you avoid giving him any kind of bug that has a hard shelled body and you’ll want to avoid giving him toxic insects like spiders as well.

A Bearded Dragon diet must also consist of vegetables. Some parts of the vegetable are dangerous for a Beardie so make sure you know whether or not he can have all parts of the vegetable. For example, seeds aren’t good for Beardies. Your lizard needs fruit in his diet and you can satisfy that need with fruits like strawberries or grapes.
