No. Aquatic animals are not part of a bearded dragon's natural food at all. Stick with crickets (or silkworms or roaches) and a mixed green salad (collard greens, mustard greens, dandelion greens, endive or escaroli)

also certain amphibians may be toxic to ur beardie so theres a possibilty u could kill it by feeding them to him

In your last thread you were wondered if water was good for them because you know they are desert lizards... so surely you must know that aquatic animals are not part of their natural diet. Also in your inter-species cohabitation thread you were told that if your dragon ate a smaller lizard it could very likely get parasites, that alone should tell you it's not okay to feed it any other kind of lizard.

Just go by the book, don't feel like you need to try new things right now while you're still new to this. If you do your research and spend some time reading the other posts on this forum, you'll know what is right and wrong.

Good luck.
