The adult version of Zoo Med's plant-based bearded dragon pellet — lower protein and higher fibre than the juvenile formula, which matches the shift adult dragons make towards a mostly vegetable diet. As with the juvenile pellet, treat it as the base of the diet rather than the whole of it: adults still want fresh greens daily and insects a couple of times a week.
Benefits
- 16% protein, 16% fibre — built around the adult dragon's more herbivorous diet.
- Plant-based — alfalfa, lima beans and soy.
- Live probiotics — four bacterial cultures plus yeast culture.
- Stabilised vitamin C and a complete vitamin and mineral premix.

Guaranteed Analysis
Crude protein (min) 16.0% · Crude fat (min) 2.5% · Crude fibre (max) 16.0% · Moisture (max) 13.0% · Calcium (min) 0.8%, (max) 1.2% · Phosphorus (min) 0.4%
Feeding
Moisten the pellets with water to soften them into a mash — most dragons take to them far more readily that way. When switching from a salad-only diet, mix pellets through the greens and reduce the greens gradually. Fresh water at all times.
