Try to avoid it if you can, spinach is high in oxalates.

ok because I don't think I can find dandelion greens or any of the others so kale might be my only option.

Spinach is a calcium binder, it keeps them from absorbing the calcium they eat. It's best to avoid it.

You can feed it occasionally. It is not a good staple because of its high oxalate content. The oxalates bind to calcium and prevent the beardie from absorbing it.
