A proper diet is essential for BERD to thrive. Their diet should consist of a balance between live insects, leafy greens, and occasional fruits. Young dragons require more protein-rich insects like crickets and dubia roaches, while adults should have a higher proportion of vegetables.
The BERD feeding plan suggests offering a variety of food items to ensure balanced nutrition. Calcium and vitamin supplements are also necessary to prevent metabolic bone disease. Owners should monitor their Dragon Bearded's eating habits and adjust portion sizes based on their activity level and age.
