[BOGGIT]

i'm just about to buy an 8 month old bearded dragon and i'm not sure how much live food to feed him each day.

I know dragons like a variaty of fruit and veg but is there anything that is a big NO NO in their diet

Try Here seems to be alot of general info about Beardies, food stuffs about half way down.

I'm not being funny Boggit but if you're about to buy one of these animals and you don't know about his feeding, maybe you shouldn't be buying him until you do.

I wouldn't buy/keep any animal until i've researched it's needs, behaviour, feeding patterns and what they like and dislike.

I've kept water dragons before but bearded dragons require much more food especially fruit and veg and i've been told it ain't cheap to feed them.

I have had 2 Bearded dragons, they used to be in a 3ft vivarium with 2 spot lights and the day light bulb, Heat bulb, My electric bill was terrible, not only was that expensive they got through a sack of brown large Crickets every week which was �17.99 and 2 packs of large meal worms �2.59 each you have to try to keep them alive for the week so you need food for them �7.00 supplement to douse the crickets so the dragons got the right amount of calcium, if you dont they could break a leg and they eat loads of vegetales, They are great to watch and have one hell of a personalety.... but its the cost and what you need to go with them.... to start from scratch you would need to find �500 to start up,
