I have a Bd ive had for about 2 weeks hes already grown a lot. is it ok for me to feed him dandolion flowers he seems to love them. hes about 3 inches stv can he eat waxworms.
wat kind of wild food can i feed him?

I am strongly AGIANST all feedings of wild food. It can have pestiside sprays and all that bug spray and weed killer. This can kill or seriously hurt youre beardie, possibly even kill 'em!

Rebel, my bearded dragon has been confirmed as a female. We all thought she was male Anyways, I couldn't be prouder....

If you do feed any "wild" food, make VERY sure there has been no chemicals sprayed on them, I live on 10 acres and use nothing on my law so I do feed fresh greens from my yard. Dandelion greens can be fed as a staple,flowers are good too.You can also fed clover leaves and flowers but only a couple times a week. Other things you might have growing around your house/flower beds are: rose petals, pansy flowers, Dahlia flowers and alfalfa. Here is a list of safe/good greens/veggies.

With a dragon as small as yours make sure to feed him insects 3 times a day, as many as he can eat in 10 minutes. You can feed crickets, silkworms or roaches. No mealworms or superworms, and waxworms as a treat only.Remember that the insect can't be any longer then the space between your dragons eyes (except the silkworms, they can be quite large)

i agree with waldo. i let mine eat from my backyard (WHERE I DO NOT USE ANY KIND OF FERTILIZER OR CHEMICALS WHATSOEVER). i would never let them have a dandelion off someone else's yard or even in a public park, because you don't know if the grass has been treated with chemicals. mine do love dandelion greens, collard greens, romaine, kale, apples, grapes.
