Baby Bearded Dragon<\/p><\/div>\n
If you have a freshly hatched Bearded Dragon, you may be keen to understand what you can and cannot feed him, in particular, where you stand with baby Beardies and mint leaves. For that reason, in this section, I will explain if it is a good idea or not.<\/p>\n
While Bearded dragons are young babies it is important to provide the best possible nutritious diet. This should consist of insects as well as plant-based ingredients (with the majority of those being veg).<\/p>\n
With that being said, the fact that mint leaves offer very little nutritional value, I would avoid them, are you with me? If you are adamant that you want to do it, it should be a treat at best.<\/p>\n
How should you prepare mint leaves for them?<\/h2>\n Now that you understand the nutritional benefits and potential health risks. If you still wish to serve them up, you need to understand the best way to do this. For that reason, in this section, I will explain how you can do this.<\/p>\n
Combine it<\/h3>\n First thing first, the mint leaves are not a meal, they are more of a garnish. So, you need to mix it up with other vegetables. It will represent a small portion of the meal.<\/p>\n
No cooking, serve it raw<\/h3>\n As you can imagine, your Beardie will want to eat these leaves raw, along with the other veg you serve up. Therefore get all the veg together.<\/p>\n
Chop them up.<\/h3>\n The next thing you need to do is to chop them up into manageable bit sizes. As a general rule of thumb, do not offer any food to your Beardie that is bigger than the distance between both of his eyes. This will avoid choking.<\/p>\n
Once they are all chopped, mix them up together and serve them up.<\/p>\n
How often should they consume these mint leaves?<\/h2>\n Now that you know how to prepare them, you may be wondering how often you should serve them. For that reason, in this section, I will explain how often you should offer them up.<\/p>\n
In my opinion, they should be offered very rarely, I mean once every few weeks, or even less frequent. It’s not a good idea to offer them too regularly.<\/p>\n
