Feeding
hey guys the first reptile were going to teach about is the bearded dragon.
the bearded dragon is mainly an insectavor as a baby and as it gets older it eats mostly veggies and occasionaly crickets and fruit. when they are babys they should eat about 80% crickets and 20% veggies, but as they get older they will eat 80% veggies and 20% crickets. Although lots of people have different opinions on how much to feed them, its really up to your bearded dragon. some baby beardies could eat 15 crickets a day and some could only eat 5 crickets a day. its pretty much how much they can eat in 15 minutes. As they get older you should feed them crickets every 3 or 4 days. The other days you should feed them veggies. the main veggie that they shouldnt eat is iceberg lettuce. its not that its bad for them but its mostly just water, therefore it doesnt give them the vitamins they need. it just fills up there stomach. Other than that most veggies are ok. The main thing is that about 3 or 4 times a week you have to sprinkle on some calcium powder that  you can purchase at any petstore such as petsmart, petco and usually your local petshop. 
Theres the feeding we will post the rest of the care sheet seperate. thanks
