Zoo Med's original plant-based pellet for growing bearded dragons, built around alfalfa, lima beans and soybean meal at 24% minimum protein. It is a base diet rather than a complete one: young dragons still need live insects for the bulk of their protein and fresh greens alongside the pellet. If you would rather feed an insect-based pellet, Zoo Med's newer Insect Bearded Dragon Food Juvenile runs at 29% protein from black soldier fly larvae.
