Beta Carotene is the BEST way to deliver Vit.A to your reptiles since Vit.A is not a water soluble supplement in the body, and hypervitaminosis A (too much Vit.A) can create serious health problems. Beta Carotene in carrots is a great way to optimize the natural color in reptiles.

Also, I'd like to mention, that antagonism towards other members is a violation of this website's rules. If it doesn't stop, warnings will be issued. Disagreements are fine as long as they are kept civil and informative, and do not become personal conflicts.

My baby dragons have always eaten meal worms and crickets and I have never had a problem with them digesting the meal worms and growing up to be fat and healthy dragons

Make sure to feed the appropriate sized insects to your baby dragons

Small super worms are fine for 12 inch babies and up as they do chomp them up but I always feed them one at a time at that size and more crickets and meal worms than supers until they get larger

The paralysis that can happen to a baby beardie from feeding too large of a prey item is no myth-it can happen and it can kill them


just my 2 cents
