To ensure that your bearded dragon is healthy, a little bit of knowledge can go a long way. Reptile hobbyists will likely provide more care for their bearded dragons than just basic food and a place to measure. Bearded Dragons are a great option for new reptile owners, and also for young children and families who want to add a reptilian pet to their family. Beaded dragons can live for up to 15 years if they are properly cared for. They measure between 18-24 inches in length. To take care of your bearded Dragons, you need to know all of the ways to care for them.

You should be aware that they are omnivorous animals, meaning they eat both plants and insects. It’s been observed that they do better with a vegetarian diet. They eat a lot of calcium-coated crickets, superworms and other insects. Also, they eat dark leafy vegetables such as romaine lettuce, collards, kale and escarole. You should make sure the size of the food doesn’t exceed the distance between their eyes. This is because if they are given large food, it could cause health problems. You should also keep in mind that bearded dragons need to be housed in the right environment. This means that the space should be big enough to accommodate their growth. Along with their needs for the environment, you may also need to pay attention to their food requirements. You want to feed them a lot of food in order to help their rapid growth.

In the first few days, you should feed your dragon at least 2-3 times per day. Watering is recommended once or twice a day. You should also clean the cage daily as these dragons can be very messy. If you don’t, you could roll them in hay two times a day. You should also provide your bearded drake with UVP bulbs to help them produce vitamin D. To make your dragons happy for at least fifteen years, you should provide them with 14 hours of bright light that must also be maintained in the darkness. Since these are cold blooded reptiles, you will often see them constantly running from one side to another of their cage in order to maintain their blood temperature normal. Follow the above instructions and enjoy your bearded dragon.
