Timing of this video was perfect. Ive had my beardie for 3 weeks now and give him calcium every day because i thought it would make him stronger and help him find the crickets easier since they blend in with the substrate. I will cut back on doing that now thanks for all the great info
Happy to help! Yes definitely not every single day.
This was VERY helpful! My son wants a bearded dragon lizard and It's been about 20 years since I had a bearded dragon lizard. And my poor beardie didn't have any of this growing up. These beardies are going to have such a better quality of life now. Thank you!
Happy to help! Thank you
All of your videos literally help me and my beardie SO much 🙏
Happy to help! 😊
My bearded dragon is thriving because of your helpful, TH-cam videos. I am in love with my Lizzie and you have the best instructions for me. Thank you so much!
Happy to help!
New Beardy owner, anytime i question something i immediately look on here and you have a video about it. My beardy and myself thank you very much Sir.
Happy to help
Great compacted info!!!!! I needed this. I’m always fretting if he changes his eating habits. I learned soooooooo much from this video. U always have the best advice 👌
Happy to help! Thank you
I appreciate all this info very much. Had a leopard gecko that lived for 26 years that passed away earlier this year. I had been saying for at least 15 years that I would get a bearded dragon when she passed. I don't know how she lived that long, but she did get all of my care all of those years. Now I'm trying to give my omnivorous new friend the best care I can give.
And honestly I only am commenting because I'm interested in the shirt you're wearing because it's hard for me to make out the letters of metal band logos. And it looks awesome, and I want one.
Sorry to hear about your leopard gecko but that’s a really long life! You did good! The shirt is from a band called baby metal
Thank you so much! I really needed this because I am about to get a baby beardie and I was afraid of anything happening to it. Thanks to this I as a beginner now know what is good for him.
Happy to help!
I keep coming back to this video! The best one!
I made a new one completely updated! Thank you
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse Awesome! Thank you so much!!! I have been feeding my 7 month old beardie only crickets and dubias (no larger than the space between his eyes). I wanna add more to his diet!
For any Canadians watching, Super Cricket Farms sells a variety of worms and ships country wide. For 25 live silk worms, they came out to under a $1 each. Shipping is more expensive but that's because it's alive bugs, and if you have your account set up to automatically place your usual order, you can get a discount on shipping and sometimes insects, etc.
I’m doing as much research as possible, planning next month to get a bearded dragon, but I know nothing about the care, and I’m not getting a pet unless I know what they need to stay healthy, and be loved and be in a safe place. So I’m binging care videos, articles, making a list of to dos and not to dos.
That is exactly what you should do! I’m very proud of you!
Same here I’m getting my first one next year
dope stuff man
Greatly appreciated kind sir!
Thanks a lot. This was super helpful
Happy to help
This video was super helpful!! I get my beardie tomorrow and I'm very nervous 😂❤
Happy to help! Don’t stress you’ll be fine!
I have kept Leopard Geckos and snakes in the past but I am crash course learning since I am about to foster my sisters Beardies for a while I had been looking into getting either a bearded dragon or a leopard but that was a slower plan, so thank you for making this video
I want a dumpster bearded dragon!! haha! excellent line! Thank you for the video!
Timing 👏🏽👏🏽
Heck yeah
Thanks!
Happy to help
9:15 is totally me when im tired 😂
Yo this is perfect im getting a bearded dragon today 🙏
Very nice!
These words are a tongue twister. 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
I caught my granddaughter feeding her bearded dragon Cpt. Crunch cereal. He was snapping that up!
Hello, you are so knowledgeable. Thank you so much! I have a juvinile 6 months. Shes napping during the day is this ok?
I recently bought one because the lady at the pet store told me they were low maintenance and other than salad only needed 3-4 crickets a day 😂 luckily i never believe anything im told and only bought him because i fell in love with his personality and did my own research. He gets two fresh salads a day with about 15-20 dubia roaches/crickets plus an occasional treat of superworms.
I am retired K9 handler. I found a adult outside. They are not low maintenance at first. There is a alot knowledge to get it right at first.
Lowkey a little confused. Can i use like bags of food from the store in replacement for greens? Also why dont i have to use the water treatment drops?
Iove this video good information because I'm going to buy a bearded dragon ❤🎉😊
Happy to help
Great info. One question the same rule applies to babys omrepti calcium?
Thank you! Yes that’s how I do my calcium for my babies
I've ordered crickets off amazon multiple times. Idk what happens in shipping but the last 2 times ive ordered crickets from them they've arrived late and dead. I recommend ordering either 2 day shipping or directly ordering from the seller
I appreciate your stance on fruit. They shouldn't ever have it. They can not process the sugars and it causes mouth rot.
Just starting this i hope you are right because bad feeding info killed my beardie Shenron.
We just bought a new baby bearded dragon and he hasn't ate in a few days. I've tried mealworms, crickets, hornworms, and silk worms. I also tried kale, lettuce, and cucumbers. He just wont eat anything. any help is appreciated!
Beardie babies are adorable
They are 😊
I wish I wasn’t scared if them. I would totally get one! My bff son has one, they grown kinda fast in my opinion
They do indeed grow fast.
Thanks for the video! I'm getting my son a bearded dragon soon. I'm nervous about keeping the insects - how do you ensure they don't escape into the rest of the house?
They have some escape proof containers that work pretty well
Just ordered everything I need for the little guy. Thank you for all the helpful information 🫡
Happy to help!
Do you offer adult bearded dragons salad daily or just the once or twice a week like the insects?
You can offer salad every other day so like 3-4 times a week.
Thanks so much man i just got my beardy his a few months old and he only eats like 7-9 dubi roaches a day. i dont know if thats a enough
That’s plenty you are doing great
Thank you for recommending the Entice Salad toppers to me. I ordered some and hoping it will help my dragon to eat her salads.
Are locusts a good food for bearded dragons? Or do you mainly want to stick to dubias, cricket, red runners etc?
Locusts are great as well!
my tank has little black beetles in it, are they safe?
I’m not sure I’m understanding how the percentage is used? Percentage of their weight? Percentage of what? Can I get an example? Please.
Is it okay if I breed my crickets outside in like those plastic sheds you see at Home Depot. Or is there a good chance parasites could get in the crickets
Yeah that’ll be fine. You should be good
On subject of water, my ex has a Crested Gecko, and they drink by licking the moisture off leaves. Today we misted my beardie, and he did the same thing with the basking rock. So they may not drink from a bowl, but will lick surfaces that you mist.
Yes! I talk about this in a couple of guides but this is how I water mg dragons as well! In the wild they actually drink like this when it rains
I have a for 4 year old bearded dragon and he doesn’t want to est anything but insects. Whenever I gave him plants, he just doesn’t eat. Can someone helps me?
is feeding a dragon watermelon once a month a good replacement for water? mine doesnt like drinking water and it worries me a bit
Do romaine lettuce instead same water content and less sugar
Thoughts on a small waterfall for a water source??
Yeah that’ll work!
I just got my bearded dragon and her name is bananas. How do you cook like crickets so they are healthy for bananas to eat
I'm hesitant to feed my dragon dandelions from outside as the town sprays for mosquitos.
He seems very happy with the spring mix from the store.
No worries definitely don’t want to take any unwanted risk
I keep a paper towel tube in my enclosure and throw 15 to 20 crickets in and my 6 year old bearded will eat until he's full and the tube gives the left overs somewhere to go and not be on him. He slaps the tube for more.
Haha he knows how to get what he wants
So can I put the calcium on the salad because I feed mealworm’s cricket too difficult to feed
Yeah you can sprinkle it on the salad as well
Ive been seeimg a chart floatimg around in facebook bearded dragon groups that say to only feed 5 to 6 bugs once a day for beardies that weight 30 grams or less. So for babies and juvies. Is that correct? This info is coning from a vet apparently.
Yes that is from the beardie vet that info came out after this video and I have a more up to date feeding guide that uses that info. You can offer that amount but you can also feed 5-15 bugs depending what they are don’t have to limit it just to 5.
I’m only 13 but I’ve decided I want to get a bearded dragon when I’m older. I’m just learning beforehand to figure out the good channels 😅. Also I know you are not the expert on this, but I also plan to keep a dog (either Lhasa apso or golden retriever) so do you know if some dogs eat bearded dragons?
That’s awesome you are preparing before hand I’m very proud of you! Dogs do try and eat bearded dragons often so just make sure he doesn’t get out of the cage
So for baby dragons should they be at that 110 temp or should it be cooler because they’re so tiny?
They can be at lower temps but around 105 is minimum sometimes though depending on the dragon they may like 102f as well. I always say 100f -115f max. Based on there behavior if they get too hot they will usually glass surf.
I've been watching so many videos because im getting a beraded dragon and mynmom said i better not let it die
The bearded dragon eats wild insects in the wild no pesticides are around my property and the horned green tomatoes worm I feed them all I have organic natural growth 😊
I just a baby breaded dragon and the pet store has me pellet food and soften in water. Should I be doing this
No just use fresh vegetables and live insects
Hey man, I have a question is it OK for the humidity in my tank to go up when I turn my lights off at night?
Yes that’s perfectly fine very normal as well
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse appreciate it, I’ve learned so much from you and really have learned a lot from you. Trying to sage up to buy my uvb bold and lamp now
How do I keep my dragon from eating the plants and other things
Quick Question ! Is feeding Adults 3 to 4 times greens and 2 to 3 times bugs?
I feed my adult twice to 3times a week greens and once to twice a week 1 large insect.
I just got my first bearded dragon. I’m shook that after a year old they only eat once or twice a week lol .
Yes you’ll see they are amazing at staying fat when eating so little haha
How do I feed my baby bearded dragon veggies? Do they need to be chopped or can I give them in strips?
You can give them in strips, a whole leaf, chopped, pretty much anyway you want really.
@ChiefSweetsUniverse I have a bearded dragon who can't poop. Can you give me some advice on how to make him poop?
Make sure he’s hydrated drip water on his nose to help him drink better. Also offer romaine lettuce since it’s mostly water and make sure temps are good.
Just got mine and since the room was hot I turned of the heat lamps to sleep, but SOMEONE turn the ac on it was out in the cold for 3 hours, it’s alive but is she okay???? Please help
They can withstand cold pretty well desert gets super cold at night. Just make sure daytime is hot
What about the bugs who end up carrying parasites? Is that possible?
That is very possible
What kind of salad do you feed a juvenile bearded dragon
How common is it to have a baby bearded dragon who’s always eats his salad cause I read that people have trouble feeding their baby beardies vegetables and mine just eats out of my hand by the 3rd day
See mine do that as well I never had a problem with it but it seems to be common for lots of people to have problems with them eating greens
I like to feed my beardie by giving him a fresh salad daily, and keeping fresh veggies in his tank 24/7. And i give him probably a dozen large mealworms just in the mornings.
Edit: will change my routine to taking all food out at the end of the day
About feeding should I put there food in the tank and let the cricket run around or put the cricket in front of it with tweasers or something
Either way will work however don’t leave them in overnight is the only thing.
@@ChiefSweetsUniverseI’ve been leaving some overnight, they hide, is it dangerous?
@@destrosoyeah if there’s to many crickets they can kill the dragon. Just drop like 2-3 in at a time and take the crickets out if not eaten.
@@timothy_ramos wow, really wasn’t expecting that response! I thought maybe they would annoy him at night at worst
my dragon and leo are in heaven this week got them some horn worms
Very nice!
if my bearded dragon won't eat greens can i just put calcium powder on insects since greens provide calcium?
Yes dust the insects don’t have to dust the greens
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse so if i dust insects with calcium then i wont have to feed my beardie greens? Because he wont eat greens no matter what I do
I have my Fancy Dragon for four days he's still a baby he's sleeping on my hand and gives me licks I dust my crickets and gave them spinach because he wont eat it showed him me eating a leaf but he might be too small for that kind of vegetable what do you recommend for vegetables for baby dragons?
Any shred greens spring mix will do great.
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse I work at subway and got him some sliced cucumbers and he eat it the other day was very happy because that also packs allot of water so I don't worry as much about him to dehydrate but gave him warm bath today bonded with him went from bright orange to an almost red on his head its his first time shedding at home excited to see his colors come in and not sure if he's a boy or girl because they are barely bigger than my palm and sleeps on my hand allot and gives lots of licks so that's a good sign I owned Jackson chameleons years back in high school and Tokay geckos snakes and so on so glad getting another reptile again
im late but collard greens and turnip greens are the best options for greens
my humify will get 80 present in the summer
So Kale is not good? I'm getting conflicted information on it's bad? My beardie is about three months old
So kale is perfectly fine we now know just use it with a variety of greens as well
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse alright thank you, I was doing a comparison of information of what I gathered from you and from what a reptile store owner knows, they said kale shouldn't be fed often but like every few months or just none at all...something about D3 and calcium inhibitors? It got me worried since I fed my beardie three small pieces of kale this morning.
What’s the amount of salad you feed them when they’re juvenile?
About the size of there belly daily
I've read that I shouldn't feed my juvenile dragon meal worms as they can cause impaction. Is this really an issue? Was feeding worms exclusively for a couple of weeks before reading that I shouldn't.
Only thing that causes impaction is bad keeping. Improper temps dehydration that sort of thing he will be fine.
Thanks for the quick response :-) Our beardie loves meal worms and they are easier to deal with than crickets@@ChiefSweetsUniverse
@@VeeDubR32 happy to help!
So I just got my first bearded dragon and he refuses to eat any kind of vegetables even frozen and someone told me that you could put be bee pollen and they should start eating vegetables is it safe to feed to do the dragons sorry my typing is very bad
No worries yes you can do that.
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse thanks you
I’ve read so many conflicting statements about romaine lettuce. Can this be a staple salad for dragons? It is the only one I’ve found that my dragon will eat. ❤ (lol I also have a dumpster dragon he will eat crickets till he pops 😂)
The only thing about romaine is that it’s just mainly water but that’s a great hydration source for beardies since they do get most hydration through greens. I offer romaine once a week to my dragons. I do offer the other high nutrient content greens like collards and spring mix as well through the week
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse thank you!!
Can you put the websites you use??
Yes updated in the description
Can I feed it watermelon once a month as a snack to hydrate it?
Watermelon still has a good amount of sugar what I do is offer romaine lettuce as it’s mostly water as well. Great hydration source
Chief, no fruit? No raspberries? I feed my dragon raspberries often
Slow down for sure
Can dragon bearded lizards at 3 months eat lettuce ?
Of course!
lol u r my buddy
Nice 😊
Sometimes a spider gets into the house. Do they eat spiders?
They do in the wild
I would recommend soaking a paper towel and dripping drops on to their nose in case you don’t have a dropper.
Oh very smart! I like it
Have you ever seen a bearded dragon that could fit a superworm between its eyes?
Can you feed Bearded dragons dead insects
You can buy they offer very low nutritional value
Watch out for dead crickets because they put off a gas. That's why if one dies the other crickets will too. But it can make them I'll and lathargic
my beardie eat and then laze off :(
No audio
I have audio is it on your end?
this is ALL INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE GETTING A BEARDED DRAGON….
Or ANY OTHER ANIMAL….
That’s why this video exists. Researching for the dragon you plan on buying.
mine has got fat
Mine too haha
They don’t eat crickets
Bearded dragons definitely do.
They should never eat vertebrates.
The only thing I gotta say about don’t feed your animals anything that are wild such as crickets and such and that fireflies are poisonous to them, but in the wild in Australia, they eat insects fireflies, so I would check to see what your vet says is poisonous to them because when I visit Australia, I seem wild bearded dragons, eating, wild dragonflies
First plz pin
Gang gang!
Repent now and trust Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior please🥰

I’m not sure I’m understanding how the percentage is used? Percentage of their weight? Percentage of what? Can I get an example? Please.

No worries looking at it now I feel like it’s extremely confusing haha gotta reupdate this sometime. So I would say you can offer vegetables every day for adults make sure it’s about the size of there stomach so not a lot but enough to maybe fit half of there torso. Then feed then 3 insects twice a week. Babies can feed daily 5-8 insects and just offer vegetables daily they probably won’t eat it but just good to offer
