Commercial pet food

[Spikeleebd]

i recently went out and bought t-rex bearded dragon food. What do you guys think about feeding your bearded dragon commercial food? And does it have any good health benefits

I tried the dried food & not 1 of my dragons showed any interest in it. I've heard of a product called Zoo Food that is supposed 2 be very good but I haven't tried it either.

Well i caught him munching on his salad and that t-rex food this mourning you should try it but read the ingredients on the back first .. i researched it and it is a really balanced diet but i just mix it in with his salad so maybe he will start to eat his salad more

My girl loves her pellet food. She eats fresh greens everyday but I also give her a small dish of her moistened pellets everyday. I buy the Rep-Cal brand. It smells really yummy, kind of fruity. The smell reminds me of a protein shake. She was used to easting this when we got a her a month ago and as long as she continues to eat her greens too I don't mind giving her the pellets. Of course, in my opinion, if you were to feed only one thing fresh is always better.

I won't use any pellets. I really don't see the need to. If you feed fresh veggies, with calcium powder, and healthy live feeders then why would you need to? I don't want to feed any preservatives or food dye to them. Just my opinion.

my baby loves her Baby Bites that I mix into her salad every day. she won't eat her greens if the baby stuff isn't in there, so id say it depends on your dragon

drgnfly2265: i hear ya about not wanting to give them preservatives or dyes. i dont like to eat them myself. when i was talking to another beardie owner at the pet store she said that she has given all her beardies pellets and they're healthy so I figured using the same ones couldn't hurt.
