Baby/Juvenile dragons should be fed 2-3 times daily.
Your Bearded Dragon needs a balanced diet of meat and vegetable matter. A hatchling dragon will eat mostly small insects. As your dragon grows, he will start to eat more vegetable matter.
Be sure the size of food you feed is proportional to your dragon's size. Malnourishment, seizures, and intestinal blockages can occur if hatchlings and juveniles are fed insects too large for them to capture or digest.
You should coat feeder insects with a calcium supplement 3-5 times per week for adults; every day for juveniles.
Insects:
Greens
Vegetables
Fruit
