Meet Astro the Bearded Dragon. 

What does Astro mean to you?

Astro means so much to me! She is my best friend and my favourite out of all my pets. 

What made you choose to buy a Bearded Dragon? 

I’ve always loved reptiles ever since I was a kid.

I was intrigued with how interesting they are, how sweet and calm they are, and their size, which is part of the reason I chose to buy Astro. 

What is involved in caring for Astro?

We start every day off with some yummy Black Soldier Fly Larvae! She eats about 30 of them in 15 minutes! She loves them dusted with bee pollen and she also loves mint leaves and dandelions mixed with other veggies.

She eats this as a salad everyday. 

Caring for a Bearded Dragon involves lots of time, love, care, attention and they have a special diet which you also need to be aware of as well. 

If you could ask Astro one question, what would it be and why?

I would ask her what Black Soldier Fly Larvae and Dandelions taste like because I have no intention of ever tasting them myself to find out. 😂

What do you think it means to be a pet owner? 

It is a HUGE responsibility. You should never buy an animal on impulse without researching into how to properly care for them.

You also need to ensure you have purchased the right equipment to look after your pet.
