I am the new owner of an bearded dragon Any advice
Dust your dragons crickets with calcium 4 times a week and
The rule of thumb about prey is that they should be no larger than the space between the dragons eyes to avoid impaction.
You can offer your dragon wax worms, super worms, pheonix worms, and butter worms as treats only. Two or three a week is reasonable. Beardies a lot of the time will get "addicted" to fatty foods and not want to eat anything else. Feeding too much fatty foods over a long period of time, such as a staple (everyday), may result in fatty liver disease. Adding a variety to your dragons diet is always recommended.
Staple foods include: Collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, dandelion greens, escarole, endive, summer (yellow) squash, butternut squash, acorn squash, hubbard squash, spaghetti squash, scallop squash, crickets, silkworms, and lobster roaches.
Treat foods include: apples, grapes, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, peaches, mango, cantaloupe, watermelon, cucumbers, grapes, kiwi, kale, oranges, pears, peas, green beans, plums, wax worms, and super worms.
Never feed mealworms. These worms have a hard exo-skeleton and high chitin in their shells that have been known to cause impaction in beardies because they cannot digest them that well.
Never feed pinkies. They carry parasites, are hard to digest, are high in fat, and hold very little nutritional value.
