Beardie Diet Change - Up

[Asper]

I’m looking for some new staples for my beardies diet as dandelions are out of season and kale isn’t great for them to have every day.

I heard collard greens are good, but any suggestions are welcome !

I would also love to know any “treat” foods you give your beardies, as I know she’d love them

My go to greens include endive/escarole and mustard greens, sometimes sweet potato leaves as they’re found easily in my area. Also feed him grated kabocha squash occasionally. I used to give him cactus as well but it takes quite some time to prepare. Draco’s fav treats are blueberries and apple slices

Oooh sounds yummy !! I am getting her some mustard greens tomorrow, she doesn’t really like blueberries unfortunately but she loves strawberries and raspberries

My Salad, swear by it. It changes up but usually stays the same amounts. From most to least.

• Collard Greens
• Dandelion greens
• mustard greens
• Romaine lettuce
• Spaghetti Squash (sub carrot, acorn squash, etc)
• Fruit 2x a week. Apple, berry, whatever is good, and Cal:K appropriate.

add some repashy or a similar vegetarian additive and make a dressing 2x or so a week.

I haven't had less than 50 dragons and 10 other herbavores, the romaine is used as a filer.

Thank you so so much !! She is currently eating a mix of collard greens, mustard greens, kale, and on occasion some celery leaves. I’ll definitely try and give her a few more fruits since she only gets them once as week as of current.

And I’ve started to use squash ! Do you know if the stringy guts (without the seeds) or the flesh of he fruit is better ? I’ve fed her pumpkin guts as a natural deworming preventative treat and she enjoyed it.
