Hello! My bearded dragon Fiona was very intrigued by a small orchid plant that I have, she got a little too excited about it and was able to grab and quickly eat a petal off of a flower on the orchid before I could get to her. Does anyone know if this is toxic? I can't find anything online about it but would like to know if anyone has any insight on this. Thank you in advance!
I'm not hugely experienced but from what I've read on here, I think your beardie will be fine.. you said they only ate one petal, which shouldn't hurt them, it probably won't even be enough to give her a slight upset stomach . I checked on a list on toxic on and non-toxic plants and orchids aren't known to harm them.
Hope this helps a little bit, I worry about my little guy constantly and this website is great to stop me stressing! :lol:
Thanks for your response! You are probably right, plus she pooped, ate, and ran around this morning so nothing has seemed out of the ordinary! Haha I'm with you on that one - I always worry about mine too!
How is your dragon today? She should be fine, but you can give parsley, cilantro & kale as a mix
for a few days to help detox in case it ends up upsetting her tummy a little bit. They are not
known to be toxic though.
It sounds like she will be just fine then! Usually, a toxic reaction hits them pretty quickly so
you would definitely know by now if it was bothering her. I'm glad it wasn't a toxic plant!
