Bearded dragon feeding?

I’m always a little hesitant to feed my bearded dragon live insects, as there is always the potential for escapes. I’ve found that a good way to feed my dragon is to offer them a variety of freeze-dried insect options. These insects are small and easy to chew, and they provide my dragon with the nutrients they need without putting them in danger of escaping. I also like to offer them a couple of fruits and vegetables as a side dish, as these provide vitamins and minerals that the dragon can use.
