Buyers have the option to choose from high-end brands or inexpensive brands. This doesn’t mean that cheap food is bad food.
In fact, most of the food products that have a 5-star rating are low-priced! So don’t go assuming expensive means good quality!
Their ‘price range feature’ allows buyers to search for food items that are within their budget! Need something within the 25-50$ range?

Etsy is a good place to buy food for bearded dragons because you get a great bargain!
Many bearded dragon keepers – like SuperUro– sell their own food and supplements on the site.
Plus, all the pro keepers swear by these products and feed their own bearded dragon the same things.
Seeing that they are feeding their dragon the same thing you can trust their stores on Etsy!
However, don’t just go buying the first thing a keeper endorses in his or her video. Research and look for reviews on these products from different places and sites.
3. YouTube
Just keep in mind that if you are not sure what to give to your bearded dragon go look on YouTube.
Tons of keepers review feeder insects and other packaged food items from hundreds of different brands.
They give a comprehensive explanation on the nutrient list and properly explain how much the product is nutritional for a bearded dragon and whether it is worth buying or not!
These veteran keepers then provide links in their description box which redirect to the product.
Another huge advantage is that many of these YouTubers have their own discount codes! You just apply them on checking out and voila, 10-15 % sometimes even more!
4. eBay
eBay, like Amazon, is another major online retailer of millions of products. The search engine isn’t as great as Amazon’s but you can still get amazing deals at eBay.
From jelly treats to extra-large live crickets and dried crickets! They have it all. They have some great options for supplements as well.
5. Josh’s Frogs
Josh’s Frogs is a website that sells live as well as other feeder insects, plants and much more. They also have an Amazon store if you prefer to buy through the mass retailer’s site.
The site even won the 2016 Winner Circle of Excellence Award.
It has an overall rating of 9.1 out of 10 and around 9.2 out of 10 people would likely shop there again. According to reviewers, Josh’s Frogs never disappoint!
Their 2-day shipping option on live feeders is amazing! The product bundles are very affordable and are a mix of black soldier larvae, dubia roaches, waxworms, hornworms, and super worms!
They ship through FedEx, USPS priority mail, and FedEx Express Priority Overnight. What’s more, you can get discounts from YouTubers as well for this site!
6. Walmart
Walmart is great for bearded dragon supplements, fruits, veggies, leafy greens, and other dried options!
Get plastic containers in different sizes as well! You need something to put the live insects in before feeding them to your dragon. That’s where these transparent containers come in!
Another thing you need to buy is a large plastic tub in which you can store your crickets and dubia roaches if you are raising your own.

From that day on, Alina has dedicated her life to learning everything she can about bearded dragons.
