What different kinds of food can lizards eat?

Lizard can eat many different kinds of foods, but what your lizard can eat will depend upon his species. Iguanas are mainly vegetarian, while geckos, anoles and many skinks are insectivores. Bearded dragons are omnivorous and do best with a varied diet. There are many packaged diets made specifically for lizards, and you can get species-specific pelleted foods or powdered meal replacers for lizards like crested geckos, bearded dragons and iguanas. Other lizards may need to eat live or dried insects, worms and other protein-rich prey foods, and their insects may need to be gut-loaded in advance. Chewy has a great selection of lizard foods of all types, so shop our site and find exactly what your lizard needs!

Are there any foods that are toxic to lizards?

There are many foods that can be toxic to lizards. Avoid feeding insectivores spiders, fireflies, ticks, centipedes, millipedes and scorpions as these may contain dangerous toxins. Herbivorous lizards should avoid vegetables high in oxalates, as they may interfere with calcium absorption. In addition, there are foods that are toxic to certain lizards but not others, so look for species-specific lists of toxic foods to avoid. It is always a good idea to check with your veterinarian for guidance on what you should and should not feed your lizard.

How much food do lizards typically need?

Lizards typically need roughly the same amount of food at every meal. For smaller adult lizards, expect to feed 2 to 5 small crickets or dubia roaches, plus 1 or 2 worms at each meal. Larger species like bearded dragons will eat around 10 large crickets per day. Younger lizards will usually eat quite a bit more than adults until they reach maturity, and omnivorous lizards will also need to be fed fruits and veggies semi-regularly. For pets that eat a packaged lizard diet, consult the feeding chart for guidance on how much to feed. Your vet can also give you guidance on how much food your lizard should be eating.

What is the best way to feed a lizard?

The best way to feed a lizard is with a species-appropriate food or foods in the right quantities. Talk to your vet about the best diet, technique and feeding frequency for your pet, as lizards often need to be fed in very specific ways.
