Question:

Can bearded dragons eat crane flies?

I have a 2 year old bearded dragon, and there r tons of crane flies flying around everywhere outside. i was wondering if she can eat them in small amounts?

Answer:

Hi, yes she can eat crane flies but be aware that this is not good practice due to the possibility that wild crane flies may have come into contact with pesticides and this could be harmful so I would advise not to do it, crickets are cheap enough and your dragons well being is more important than a small financial saving, Stef
Separate your dragons and your issue would be solved. they do no longer look to be meant to stay jointly till they are mating, that's lots too early for a 4 month previous dragon, they dont attain sexual adulthood till finally around a million 365 days.
no I wouldnt suggest feeding them to your beardie.they could have eaten things with pesticides on and if you feed them to your beardie the pesticides inside the flies could kill them.just stick to locusts or crickets and veggies
I wouldn't recommend it. I couldn't tell you if they are safe, but, at the very least, there is a very real risk that they may have been exposed to pesticides and other chemicals... Even if the crane flies themselves are safe for the dragon to eat, they may be exposing him to chemicals... And parasites, for that matter. It's all around not a good idea to feed wild-caught bugs.
