Food: Collard greens, kale, turnip greens, mustard greens, dandelion greens, thawed frozen mixed vegetables, rabbit pellets, wildflowers, soaked bird seeds, lentils, strawberries, and prepared bearded dragon or iguana food are for good choices and should be offered in a varied mixture. Crickets and mealworms coated with vitamin mineral powder should be offered twice a week.



Water: There is much controversy over offering water to Uromastyx. While it seems cruel to withhold water from a pet, they are designed to obtain their minimal water needs from their food sources to ensure survival in a very dry habitat. If water is provided at all times, there is a danger that it could raise humidity to unacceptable levels. Spraying the fresh vegetable mixture daily will increase the water content obtained from them. A 5-10 minute soak in warm water every couple of weeks will help keep them well hydrated and aid in shedding.
