It is recommended to feed bearded dragons at least once per day. If you run out of crickets and can't get them in time for their next feeding try romaine lettuce (Iceberg lettuce is not much more than water and has no nutrients), Kale, or collard greens. As far as how long they can go without food before dying, my guess would be less than a week, especially if you aren't spraying them with water. (corrections) My beraded dragon can last 2 months without eating and spraying with water and is completely fine) They don't often drink from bowls and will only drink moving water or as it drips.
ANSWER. think about how long they go in the wild without food because they have to catch it themselves so i know i has to be longer than a week.
ANSWER.
There is a huge selection of 'leafy' greens which are high in calcium to feed your Dragon, some of which are... kale, argula, collard & mustard greens, parsley, dandelion greens and flowers, endives, radish, carrot and turnip tops, escarole and chicory endive. For more of a variety, mixed into the greens may be many other veggies such as squash, corn, peas, carrots (shredded), sweet potato, cucumber, zucchini, green peppers, chard... also chopped fruit such as cantaloupe, Apple, blueberries, peaches, Pears, grapes, plums, raspberries... all chopped finely to avoid choking. The main idea in their diet is variety.**Do not feed your dragons iceberg lettuce as is has very little nutritional value and may give the dragon the 'runs' - prompting dehydration.
Dragons will also munch on other greens. If you take your dragon outside or allow it to roam about the house - please be sure to check that the possible munchies are not poisonous
