1. can beardies eat mealworm beetles?
yes though it's not recommended for young dragons due to hard skin of the beetles. An occaisonal treat is safest.
2. can beardies eat golden pothos?
3. can beardies eat chick weed?
4. can beardies eat roca?
for question 2-4, haven't found any information if they are safe. Regular pothos leaves are safe for dragons, haven't found anything mentioning golden pothos in particular. For the rest, better to not feed them at all, till you find out they are safe.
5. what seeds can beardies eat?
very very few. Some cooked brown rice, wheat, barley and some other grains can be fed, but in very small amounts (less than 10% of their total dietry intake)
6. how can i get my beardie to eat more veggies?
Younger dragons tend to be less interested in greens than older dragons. One way to get them to eat greens is to drop their insect food ontop of their greens. Most times while grabbing for the insects (crickets, silkworms etc) they will get some greens and learn that greens are good to. Other ways is wiggling the greens to give them some 'life', offering greens wrapped around insects or dropping shredded greens onto a plate infront of the dragon.
For more information about what dragons can eat plant wise, I have included a link below:
