Publisher's summary

The Most Comprehensive Book on Bearded Dragon Nutrition in the Universe*.

Why this book? Because if you've done any research into bearded dragons, you know finding reliable, science-backed information is pure torture. Thanks to the relatively recent arrival of beardies into the US pet scene, the guidance you'll find tends to be more folklore and urban myth than actionable advice. Then people start arguing, and you might as well give up and get a hamster, because DragonMama95 has you convinced that your choice of substrate will make your lizard turn inside out.

That's why I — fellow bearded dragon lover and professional writer of over twenty years — joined forces with beardie chef Tad Cooper to put every bit of information you need into one resource. We conducted hundreds of hours of research, talked to the big names in the community, and sifted through so many angry, misinformed forum posts that we've lost all faith in the critical thinking skills of the common homo sapien.

"The Bearded Dragon Cookbook" is your ultimate companion to the role nourishment plays in your dragon's health and happiness. If you have (or want) one of these reptiles in your life, I am certain that the information in this book will not only be helpful, but indispensable.

1. Understanding Beardie Nutrition: A shocking amount of public bearded dragon nutrition info is out of date by decades. Small mistakes in understanding things like hydration and supplementation will lead to expensive and life-threatening outcomes over time. Together, we'll avoid those.
2. Live Feeders and Other Foods: Comprehensive nutrition charts and comparison guides on hand in one easy-to-find reference. No more googling to find Ca:P ratios at two in the morning.
3. Bust the Myths: Find out why everything you've been told about hydration, substrates, and so-called "toxic" foods might be completely wrong — and how following out-of-date folk wisdom could be slowly killing your wee lizard.
4. Fun Recipes and Feeding Plans: Approach your dragon's diet like a scientist in a chef's hat. Learn fun new ways to prepare beardie meals, overcome picky eating habits, and keep your lizard fit and full of life.
5. Husbandry Tips and Overall Health: Vital guidance on enclosures, lighting, and other aspects of bearded dragon care, sourced from the world's leading experts in this awesome reptile.
6. Check Out That Page Count: This book is 95% about feeding and nutrition, and it's bringing more pages than most bearded dragon guides that cover every aspect of husbandry. C'mon. This ain't no entry-level overview, people!

Plus, it doesn't read like a textbook. This is your chance to gain a wealth of knowledge and practical tips, making you a confident (and competent) dragon keeper. Most importantly, this book could very well save your lizard from nutritional interventions, obesity, impaction, and other life-threatening situations. Feed them right; make them happy!
