Bearded Dragon Research Paper

Meat sources are a staple of the bearded dragon diet, these include crickets, waxworms, and mealworms. ‘Gutloading’ prior to feeding the dragon is important. Insects should be fed to the dragon at least every other day. A rule of thumb is that the insect shouldn’t be any bigger than the space between their eyes. This is important as the digestive tract has a lot of ‘sharp turns’ and twist that the food could get stuck in.
Vegetables/Fruits need to be finely chopped, these include greens: collared, dandelion, mustard and kale, yellow squash, zucchini and shredded carrots. Iceberg lettuce is not recommended because it might cause diarrhoea because of the high water content which may result in dehydration. Daily feeding of fruit and veg is required.
