Veggie Diet

I finally got my new beardies today. A very reputable reptile shop about an hour away had a very good breeding year and had tons of them so they were BOGO Free!!! Woohoo. Pretty sure I got 2 girls. Anyhow every care sheet I have read list all the different veggies to feed them. My concern is if I want to provide a good mixture of greens and such is there a good way to make them last? Could I chop them up and portion them out and freeze the portions? When needed I could thaw it out and feed them? Does anyone have any advice on this? I just don't want to buy a bunch of veggies and have it go bad before my new babies eat it all.

Thanks

Veggies aren't as big a part of young bearded dragons diets. As they get older they start eating less insects and more greens.

What I do is get enough greens to last a week then feed any excess to my crickets. This way nothing goes to waste.

Thanks! I hadn't actually thought of feeding excess to the crickets. I bought some of that orange colored gut load stuff to feed the crickets. Supposed to be food, water and vitamins too. I am thinking of going with Dubai roaches for meal worms rather than crickets but not sure if it would be worth the trouble with only 2 Beardies.

If Dubai roaches were legal in Florida I would have a colony... I hate crickets. They smell bad and at times make a lot of noise. I would feed my beardie dubias and veggies exclusively.

Each morning, my leftover greens and veggies get thrown in my blender with some fruit and become my breakfast smoothie. Except for the Bok Choy. I cut the stalks up and eat it with my lunch at work...
