Highlighted Reviews
"I've tried several different ones in this kind of food and this is the only one he likes. Also he likes eating the pellets crunchy rather than soaked in warm water. I'm really glad chewy actually sells this one because it's hard to find."
"This stuff is not palatable to my beardie no matter how it's served. I think you must feed them this from a very young age for the animal to eat it. If they are used to greens and insects, don't expect them to eat this too."
Bottom Line
If your bearded dragon has a discerning palate, this food might be a hit. However, be prepared for potential issues with palatability, especially if your pet is used to other types of food.
