Food for growth.

Hi

I was wondering what are good food items for bearded dragons for growing and getting ready for breeding?

for growing: silkworms, butterworms, roaches and crickets
healthy salads consisting of calcium rich greens such as collard greens, dandelion greens, endive, escaroli, mustard greens, turnup greens, etc.

Once dragons are fully adult, females who are gravid should get the same rich greens and extra insect rations (instead of just 2-3 servings a week) with proper supplimentation and calcium D3.

Between clutches females who seem down on weight can be giving pinky mice and superworms to help put the weight on but not to many as both are fatty.
