Question
can bearded dragons eat frogs ( baby frogs )

Answer
Dear Becky,
thank you for your question.
Bearded dragons will eat almost anything that moves and that includes frogs. But I don't think it's a good idea to offer frogs as prey. All frogs species are at least mildly toxic and you don't know how the dragon reacts to certain toxins. Many frog species are protected and it would be illegal to catch them, if you want to use wildcaught frogs. They may also have parasites that can be transferred to the dragon.
I hope I was of some help to you
