Absolutely. We have seven bearded dragons and quite a few baby dragons and that is all we feed them. We do dust the crickets with calcium twice a day and vitamins once a week, but you do not need to feed them any pinkies. If you have any other questions just ask.

Adult dragons should be feed 90% greens (calcium rich greens like collard greens, mustard greens, dandelion greens etc) with mixed vegetables and some fruit (strawberries, melons etc, no citrus) sprinkled on top. They should get some sort of insect 2-3 times a week (crickets, roaches, silkworms, butterworms or superworms with waxworms and mealworms offered as treats only). Adult should have calcium with D3 and a multivitamine about twice a week.
