How Many Times a Day Should I Feed My Bearded Dragon?

So how many times SHOULD a dragon be fed per day? With people telling us that pet stores have told them that they must feed their dragons anywhere from 1 to even 5 times per day, what is the truth? Here we answer this question and give practical advice for making sure your dragon gets proper amounts of nutrition.
Any insects that you feed your dragon will be far more nutritional when fed a proper insect diet.
One thing that we HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend is a good quality gut load. It is an insect food LOADED with protein, vitamins and minerals that are essential for a healthy dragon. Feed it to the insects right before offering them to the dragon to "gut load" the insects, and all that added nutrition will be passed along to your dragon. The brand that we ourselves use and recommend is this:

I feed once a day unless I have something as a treat that they would like, such as fruit or a pinky. And I skip feeding one day a week to let them clear out.

This video is great, I can't even imagine what sad pathetic lives the two people must live that gave it a thumbs down. Must be a jealous competitor.

We believe that gut loading insects is the best and most natural way to provide additional nutrition to your dragon. Top coating bugs is wasteful as most product falls right off of them. We also DO NOT recommend the use of "salad toppers", products that make claims to CURE diseases like MBD, Gout, and other unproven claims. One maker even described their own brand of salad topper as "fairly non toxic". Who wants to feed their beloved pet a product that is "fairly non toxic"?
If you MUST use a topping for dragons, we recommend bee pollen in small amounts. Bee pollen can be bought at most grocery and health food stores.
