Frilled Dragon Keepers
there isn’t really a frilled dragon IQ test so i don’t know who is best able to answer your question but i know they like ants a lot and spiders and termites and pretty much anything they can over power and eat
i never read anything about them eating moss in the wild though but its not hard to believe considering the types of things captives have been known to go for.
by the way if you ask in order to recreate the natural diet i would have to say that it’s near impossible and the wrong food specimens (for example a house spider instead of a huntsman spider or an anole instead of a bearded dragon hatchling) may be completely wrong for your lizards health, of course it could be fine but why try that kinda thing when the captive care has shown 3 times the growth rate of wild animals, longer lives and less disease.
i hope this helped

Frilled Dragon Keepers
The reason for the question is I have a food dish (rock looking thing) that has a green moss painted on it and he has tried to eat this moss more then once. I thought it’s the green color he’s after, so I tried everything under the sun that’s green, now the only conclusion can be is the moss ,because that’s what he’s trying to eat. I am looking for someone who knows the NG natural habitat that may be able to tell me this type of moss....I know people from all over the world can be reading this forum(maybe a breeder or keeper in that area)....Thanks for your answer anyway....I know there are many people here on this forum that has a wealth of knowledge

frogs are green and frillies love them //also it is not unheard of for a frilled dragon to eat vegghies /fruits/puddings/stuff like that! heres what I have recently learned about there diets!!!!!!!as young babies they require tender little insects/however as juvies or adults they tend to just turn into a regular trash compactor eating pretty much anything that will fit between there two eyes!I wouldn’t recomend feeding your frilly the way I do untill your sure it can handle it! I have takin huge risks with experimental foods ///including crawfish//wich took longer to digest and harder to make a stool/even though my frilly eats all of these things grasshoppers/oatmeal/wasps of all colors and sizes/any spider/small fish/pudding//pinkies /small mice//strawberries/oh yeah bettles of all shapes and sizes/did i mention oatmeal//it took a long time for my lizard to establish himself as a super power in this world however /he surely does !
