Bearded dragons are known to show signs of affection to their owners. For example, they will remain calm when handled or sit still on their owner's lap. When a bearded dragon licks you, it is typically a sign of curiosity, comfort, or exploration Bearded dragons are omnivores that eat a varied diet of insects, leafy greens, and vegetables. Juveniles need more insects (70-80%) for protein, while adults require more greens (70-80%) to maintain weight. Key foods include crickets, dubia roaches, black soldier fly larvae, collard greens, turnip greens, and butternut squash, often supplemented with calcium powder. Some of the most frequent challenges include internal parasites, impaction, adenovirus, and metabolic bone disease. Understanding these problems can help you take proactive steps to protect your pet. Healthy adult bearded dragons can go up to seven to 10 days without food, but this isn't ideal. Juvenile dragons need to eat regularly, skipping meals for more than a few days can be dangerous to their health. Cell: 2108164557
