| Glenn ponders his vegetable salad. |
How do you sell the idea of eating
vegetables to a Centralian bearded dragon?
Bearded dragons are
omnivores, although it appears no one has told Glenn that. He will run across
his enclosure for a cricket or mealworm, but remains less excited about carrots
and leafy greens. Apparently, around 20 per cent of a juvenile beardie’s diet
should be made up of vegies.
I decided to make little G a
salad using some chopped leafy greens and carrots, along with some commercial
bearded dragon pellets.

And yes, I did need to add some mealworms so some of
the following images do contain those, although there are no images of worms being eaten as such.
