Bearded Dragon Care Guide

[motherofdragons]

I am no expert but i do have a question. A few months back my daughter adopted two bearded dragons from the neighbors. She has fallen in love and she is a great beardy mom. One of the dragons (Iggy) loves oranges so she makes her a special frozen orange juice treat on hot days. So my daughter was wondering if they can have real ice cream, do you know the answer to this question? Thank you

Hi, that’s great your daughter adopted those dragons.  And we’re glad your researching proper bearded dragon care.

That’s a great question, and hope you haven’t offered any ice cream to them.  Reptiles, and even dogs and cats (to a lesser extent) should never be fed ice cream.  For reptiles, the answer is never, ever, absolutely never.  Bearded dragons did not evolve with access to ice cream (i.e. milk products) in their diet or environment, therefore they lack the ability to digest it.  Instead, this sugary substance will stay in their digestive systems, rotting, and forming the perfect medium for all sorts of bad bacteria that will cause the animal to fill with gas and bloat.  This serious condition is excruciating for the animal and often lethal.  Dogs, cats, and people can do a little better, because we are mammals and milk is part of our nutritive cycle in infancy.  So for the sake of those beautiful beardies, please let your daughter know that they should not be fed ice cream, or dairy in general.

I know this was posted a long time ago but please don’t let her give them anything related to oranges. Any citrus foods are bad for bearded dragons

You are right, I have picked up one or two listed from this list for now but not sure how my dragon will react to it.

[motherofdragons]

No i have not let her offer them ice cream. I figured they couldn’t have dairy but i wasn’t sure, thank you very much for answering my questions. My daughter is always looking for new treats to give them. They are spoiled lol but not overfed as well. If you can think of any unique treats that they can have feel free to post it. This is Iggy enjoying her pick of veggies.

Although it has been two years since the question was asked, I would still like to take this opportunity to provide an answer. I believe that knowledge should always be shared regardless of the passage of time.

It’s good that you are aware of this and choose not to feed it to your bearded dragon.

If you’re on the hunt for a yummy treat for your bearded dragons, these articles on bearded dragon’s diet will be beneficial in providing information on what to feed your pet and ensuring its health and well-being.

I have been doing collard greens as recommended for awhile now. He loves them! You are saying those are not a good choice? Thank you!

I see that you mentioned not to feed collard greens may I ask why a lot of forms that I read say that they love them
