Hi. I'm going to the store to get my beardie new veggies. But I was wondering, which is better, Dandelion or Collard Greens? I heard beardie's love dandelion greens, but collard greens are just as good. I might just get which ever one is cheaper (of course organic), but I want to know you opinions.
Dandelion Greens vs Collard Greens

I'd go with collard greens personally, but their pretty similar in nutrition from what i can see. Variety is key so using both would be good. http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html
Escarole is really good too. I fed mine collard and mustard greens the very first time and then when I fed her dandelion greens she loved them. But recently I fed her escarole for the first time and she ate two whole dishes(small waterbowel fake rock dish)when she was only eating 3/4 of a dish of dandelion greens a day. And where I'm from escarole is only a dollar for a large portion of it. In fact, if you only have one beardie some if not a lot of it will probably go to waste. Unless you freeze it of course ?

Got a back yard full of weeds (um thistles , clovers, dandelions and the like), what the rosellas and galahs don't eat , the lizards get (been known to pick the leaves and flowers and add to the lizard salad).

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
