Proper calcium for bearded dragons

For healthy bearded dragons it is important that you watch the calcium to phosphorus ratio. Just providing calcium is not enough. For every amount of phosphorus you provide you need to provide at least the same amount of calcium. Failure to provide this will result in your bearded dragons body pulling needed calcium from their bones. This is what causes metabolic bone disease. Below we will provide a list of vegetables with their calcium-phosphorus ratio.
