canned collard greens?

[Spencer]

So i have only found canned collard greens. are these okay to feed or do they not have enough nutrition? I will be getting my beardie baby next week and i want to get her veggies straightened out.
also, we have butternut squash. is that good or is another squash more nutritious?

Fresh and raw is always better when it comes to veggies for your dragon(s). There are other options you can use as staple veggies besides Collard Greens - have you tried to find Mustard Greens, Turnip Greens, Dandelion Greens, Endive, Escarole, Cactus Pad, or Alflafa (the plant, NOT the sprouts)? Almost all kinds of squash are good staple foods for your beardie as well. I use a rotation of butternut, acorn, and spaghetti squash. It's always good to change up the veggie mix that you're feeding your beardie every once in a while - it will keep them from getting bored with their food, and it's also good just to round out their nutrition. There's a great chart/guide here >>> http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutritionframeset.html that you can use to figure out the best things to feed your beardie and how often. Hope that helps, good luck!

Nothing from a can. It has preservatives, most likely, which can harm your beardie.
