can bearded dragons eat yellow squash flowers?

ight so my bearded dragon doesnt wanna eat his salad each time i make it and only depends on me hand feeding bugs to him and he is lazy to hunt himself for it when i drop them in his enclosure, but one thing is if it is okay for him to eat the flower of zucchini or yellow squash??

Not sure. And he needs to learn how to hunt for his own food as he can become very lazy and then he wouldn't want to do anything since he will rely on someone hand feeding him. It is best recommend unless if they are injured or a rescue and need to be hand fed, it is best for them to catch them on their own

I agree with Hazel, work on increasing the activity level of your beardie. Most commonly, laziness is due to the lack of stimulation for the brain… in other words boredom, what size is you enclosure?

A bigger enclosure grants more space to explore, the bare minimum for a bearded dragon is 120 gallons and Id still consider that small, especially for an adult. I’d suggest upwards to a 200 gallon enclosure!

Completely agree my tank is a 120 gallon which is plenty of room for my beardie as she has a stunted growth but it depends on how big you dragon is
