Dandelion Leaves are the Best
Sunday, August 10th, 2008At least it is the favourite greens of my bearded dragon (pogona vitticeps). She is called Gunnar, although that is a boys name — you can’t determine the sex before half a year or so after hatching, and even then it’s not obvious. Gunnar is around 4½ years of age now, and I’m not entirely sure whether that is young or old for a bearded dragon. I’ve heard anything between 5 and 10 years is normal, depending on their conditions and if bred or not. She doesn’t look and act old yet, though. 
I just thought this was a funny little photo series, so I wanted to share it. Of course bearded dragons are not herbivores, and indeed the primary feed is crickets, grasshoppers, and a couple of mealworms once in a while. Click on the pictures below for larger versions.
