My wife has been talking about getting a bearded dragon for a few years, after holding them at the pet store we are going to go ahead and get one.
But I'm a little confused about food, so hoping you guys/gals can help me out.
I understand as they are growing they need 75% meat and 25% veggies after grown that swaps to 25% meat and 75% veggies.
So should we do crickets, meal worms or what for daily meals?
Do the meal worms need to be alive? I see the pet store has them in a jar and they don't look to be alive.
Would it be better to raise our own crickets or meal worms? Does that save any money in the long run? Do those smell?
Will they stop eating when full or do they just eat if food is there?
I think that's all my food based questions for now
Thanks for your time.
