Bearded Dragon Diet Supplements

Video Transcript

"Now this is a supplement I like to use, it's called Dragon dust, it's made by T-Rex. Now you can buy several different types of supplements from your local pet store. Most of them are not species specific and since lots of different reptiles, the different varieties and all the different types of reptiles require different amounts of vitamins, different types of vitamins and different quantities, I thinks it's really really convenient that this T-Rex has come out with species specific vitamin supplements. So this one is for Bearded Dragons. What this does is it completes the nutritional value of the vegetables. This is made to be used on a daily basis. This is not a supplement that's going to be overpowering if you use it to much. In fact, the jar says the more the better. It does have vitamins and minerals in it but not in such quantities that it's going to be harmful if you give them a lot. Some people like to try manufactured food, such as this. I just picked this up the other day, my dragon has not tried it yet, but I do have quite a few customers that come into the pet store and purchase this type of Bearded Dragon food. Now it is recommended that if you use this type, you may want to moisten it with Fruit Juice or with water to entice the dragon to eat it. Some dragons will simple refuse and if you plan on switching a diet over to something like this, definitely start in small quantities. Just sprinkle a little bit on top of the vegetables. I'm going to go ahead and try that here. I don't plan on switching the diet over, I like the diet I have him on but I might as well try and use these up and see if he likes them a little bit. So I'll just throw some on top there and these are his vegetables. Place this here in the cool side of the tank so the vegetables don't wilt underneath the basking light."
