I have been growing some mustard greens and alfafa seeds for my dragon. I am going off the beautifuldragons website information and I'm a little bit confused because it says for alfafa that she can have the plant every day but the sprouts only occasionally. I know I'm being a bit thick here but what's the difference? Is the plant just the green leafy bit at the end? Or do I need to wait for the alfafa to mature and grow fully before it can become her staple?
My assumption is that by sprouts they mean newly germinated seeds consumed whole (seed casing and root and all), and by alfalfa they mean leaves/stalks without any difference between old and new growth. Boxes of sprouts used to be common in grocery stores until there were several recalls a few years ago so that's what I pictured when I read the list.
