| + | Large prey items have an adverse effect on the nervous system of bearded dragons in someway. Animals that suffer this will display the extension and twitching of their hind legs soon after the meal. In most cases, the animal will die. DO NOT FEED LARGE PREY ITEMS TO JUVENILE BEARDED DRAGONS! Again, only feed a beard food that is smaller than the space between their eyes. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR BEARD TO EAT FIREFLIES? LIGHTNING BUGS!!! They are toxic!!! One will kill your beard. | ||
