Hey this might be a stupid question, but can beardies eat ground beef? What would be a list of thing that they can eat besides crickets and vegies?

If I were to feed my dragon any meat, it would be chicken or turkey. Beef is too fatty.
Worms are also a good choice. some worms are more nutritious then others. Check out what worms are available at a cricket breeder site.

I wouldn't feed them beef. Occaisonally cooked chicken or turkey but no beef. Dragons can be fed silkworms or butterworms instead of crickets. Mealworms, superworms and waxworms are only good as an occaisonal treat. Some have heavy exeskeletons which can be difficult to digest and caust impaction problems. Waxworms are just to fatty as a regular food source.
