desotojoe Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 After searching everywhere i could on the net and also looking in the book I have I haven't been able to find a good salad recipe for my bearded dragon. So I thought i would start a thread so people can share their recipes. I find info on bearded dragon food really confusing and quite often contradicting so knowing salads other people are using that are working would be a great help.

FACEAnthrax Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I grow my own dandilions, rocket, basil, oregano an mint these all go into the salad. I buy squash to go in too. I also add grape leaves when I have some. Sometimes have capsicum and grapes themselves. Otherwise mesclun salad which has endive rocket dandilions etc in it can get one that has herbs too. All available from any supermarket. That's the main stuff off the top of my head anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FACEAnthrax Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Forgot to add all chopped medium to finely depending on what it is. E.g squash is finely chopped while basil and dandilions and still quite chunky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FACEAnthrax Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 All the info you need is on the Beautiful Dragons reptile rescue (nutrition content) site. Makes it simple as. Although it's a really good site it doesn't help much really just gives you an idea of what's good and what's bad, as a lot of it you can't find anywhere here normally, like cactus pads for example. And most people have no idea what endive or escarole even is or where to get it, all they know is it's good for their dragon... I'd love to feed my dragon cactus pads, and the one time I did find some (on trademe of all places) no one could tell me if they were the right one or not.

The packets if you get them normally say what's in them on the back . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
