what vegies are good for beardys?

my guy loves broccolli im guessing its good for him?

mmm, actually i read somewhere brocolli isnt the best for beardies. spinach is also not good.

beardies will each insects laced with cyanide - the thing with them is that they jsut eat whats food to them.

in addition to insects, bearded dragons should be fed a mixture of green leafy vegetables (e.g. dandelion greens, collard greens, chickory greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, escarole, parsley), other vegetables (e.g. squash, carrots, green beans, peas, bell peppers), and some fruits (e.g. berries, apples, grapes, cantaloupe, papaya, mango, blueberries, bananas). The plant portion of the diet should be about 20-30% of the diet. These items can be chopped up and mixed together to make a salad, which can be fed in a shallow bowl. Leafy greens can also be clipped to the side of the cage.

puha(sp?) and dandelion vegetation and flowers are perfect and free. frozen peas and beans defrosted also good. strawberries and other fruit with the exception of avocado and citrus can also be fed. but free is best :lol:

spinach is high in oxalates which can affect metabolism of calcium and hence bone growth if fed exclusively. if you feed it occasionally then no worries. they are pretty much like us in that all things are fine in moderation.

Here's a site I've found very useful:

That nutrition chart is a keeper alright...

What a bonus that dandelion greens are rich in nutritional value! They grow like, well, like weeds If you've got a corner of your property to devote to them, it might be worth sowing a bed of dandelions to help add to the diet - they mustn't need much convincing to run riot...

Alfalfa is another excellent staple and easy to grow for yourself. I'll be giving it a try soon

watercress is good too, esp. as it can be used in biofilter sumps- just add a tube- to remove nitrates from fish tanks....
