Best Dragon video ever!! It's so true about contradicting information online...I was feeling so confused trying to look up different healthy food for my new Dragon. I'm a newbie. Thanks for this awesome video.

[@hinesoka8032]

I really appericiate the videos you put up. Im a first time beardie mom and the internet DOES suck when it comes to info. So thank you for all you do! Keep going!

[@biblical_dragons7031]

Thank you so much for saying that!

[@MansontheHusky]

Omg thank you. It really is stressful! I've been stumped on how to prep for my guy. The biggest issue is the greens. How do we keep the greens fresh and have them not get all watery? I worry they go bad.... so basically, just throw everything in the freezer and thaw it out the night before?

[@mrboi5506]

Kale is bad because it’s a calcium binder

[@fishwithapacifier]

thank you for this. immediately was disappointed

[@christinacastine4355]

Such a great idea! Will do some prep tomorrow.

Love these videos. My beardie likes cilantro, orange bell pepper and butternut squash. I find that he eats better if I hand feed him.

I live in a very arid environment. I always have a water dish in her tank, and the humidity still stays below 30%. A lot of the time it goes down to near 20% . I still assume that she is getting most of her water from her food, but having the water dish certainly doesn’t hurt her environment . I think we have to be very careful about giving advice about humidity- understand that different environments allow for very different conditions in the enclosure.

Thanks for the video! I wish you had more videos!

[@TheDrunkenAlcoholic]

Really like your content, keep it up mate

[@Joshinyou]

Thank you very much for sharing this video.

[@cwalker7070]

How long does it last in the freezer

[@deecoach2903]

My beardie has become the fussiest salad eater ever since he entered adulthood. Drives me nuts. I've tried so many different Veggies but nope he sticks his nose up and would rather starve himself for days on end 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@DanielNelson]

How do you make up for the lack? Friend's beardie is doing the same.

[@jjsjjs9677]

Are green bell peppers good ?

[@tinykqi._.7798]

Are carrot tops okay? I usually give my beardie broccoli, carrot, and every few weeks buy a squish for her The internet constently says different things, and ive constently stayed away from kale because of it I just looked up if they can eat carrot tops and it said carrot should only be a treat At this point I’m worried I’m not feeding my dragon anything they can have

[@mullberrykay965]

Better leaves to feed would be arugula, collard greens and mustard greens.

[@mullberrykay965]

Hey anyone have information about the plant/herb Mulunggay? Is it actually safe and good for bearded dragons? Im really looking for a way to woden my bearded dragons viraiety.

[@Caroline-w4c7w]

Pumpkin seeds good for them?

[@janmorin41]

I just read that mealworms are most chit (dont know full word) and can cause impaction. 😢 thanks for video

[@tigerlilly03152012]

I grow a decent amount of my dragons foods.

[@deecoach2903]

I've tried meal preping and freezing small amounts in sandwich bags, but whenever I pull out of the freezer to defrost, the Veggies end up so soggy and gross. Any suggestions?

[@kensleykeay2067]

Hi! Do you blanche your veggies before you freeze them?

[@kensleykeay2067]

@Nancy G Blanching is a process where you take your veggies and submerge them in hot boiling water for anywhere from 30 seconds to 1 minute (depending on the veggie), then immediately placing them in a bowl of ice water before freezing. It doesn’t cook the veggies but basically allows them to be frozen at peak freshness and will keep them from sogging while thawing.

[@tiffanyzamora3374]

Do you cook the squash and sweet potato?

[@rickeyweaver6298]

Lol no. Raw only. When you cook veggies it cooks alot of the nutrients that your dragon needs. If it's cooked it will become a calcium binder, not allowing them to absorb the calcium

[@Bagels4eva135]

I don’t think he meant to say “freeze dry”

[@BTC1981]

Isn’t carrots not good for them?

[@fishwithapacifier]

kale actually binds calcium and is not the best staple or choice in general

[@sashadolhan2052]

Did you freeze or freeze dry these salads?

[@noadiahharris2910]

My baby picks out the kale 😂

[@sireenmashaal6262]

looks at tabel think what is that

[@christinahaswell8468]

Kale is NOT good for bearded dragons. Please do some more research. Very small amounts of kale maybe 2 times a week mixed with other GOOD staple greens like collards would be ok but why risk it when it's not necessary? Also, rosemary is great for beardies. Rosemary has a great calcium to phosphorus ratio. Planting fresh rosemary in their terrarium gives a nice enrichment for them while also giving them something healthy to forage for a snack

[@mvk72]

I thought no frozen.All should be fresh??

[@stickbug6553]

yes do not feed them frozen bug they like live ones way better

[@royaledinos9915]

Yes dont EVER feed them frozen

[@cassandracavette3327]

I’ve seen kale is horrible for bearded dragons

[@zacksearles5909]

Na kale is fine for them spinach is bad for them

[@christinahaswell8468]

Kale isn't good because it's a calcium binder. Not nearly as bad as spinach though. If you use Kale, only use it in small amount maybe 2 times a week mixed with good staple greens like collards. A small amount mixed in with collards shouldn't hurt but why risk it? Lots of other great greens for them. I personally use collards as their staple greens. It's cheap and one of the best. I mix in others like mustard greens and turnip greens, small amounts, endive, assorted herbs that are good like parsley basil rosemary mint...so many great options
