My beardie, Zilla has parasites. She got them back in Dec. also & only thing I can think of that caused it is from crickets I get at Petco. But lately I've also been giving her dandilions from my yard; she loves them! I rinse them off but could the dandilions carry parasites? We have dogs & wildlife run thru the yard, if that could be a factor (poop).
If the dandilions can carry parasites would rinsing them off with water get rid of them, or is there another process that works? I would hate to have to stop giving her them when its one of her favorites. Another odd question as its a weed, has anyone tried growing dandilions (for safe feeding)? I read beardies can eat "Dandilion Greens" but not sure if thats different from the weed.
