I'm new from Reddit so I'm still looking around the Lemmyverse. I hope more folks from the reptile forums there take a chance and migrate over here.

I have a bearded dragon that's about a year old. She's a champ. I've read that at some point, they shift to being mostly vegetarian with some bugs once in a while. I don't think she got the memo. She still vastly prefers bugs to salads. I guess I get her to eat a salad 1-2 times per week. But she chomps down on superworms and crickets. I'm raising dubias that I hope to shift to instead of crickets though. I figure I've got a few more months before the colony is ready for me to start getting feeders from it.

Anyway, when to beardies start to need less protein? How often does a mature bearded dragon need bugs? Thx!

Thx! I'm just glad that she does eat salad at all. She turns up her nose at blueberries/fruit, but I do get her to eat some squash, zucchini and turnip greens 1-2 times a week.
