Chives?!

[TamiLynne]

Hi guys.. So I'm in a panic & I hope it's not for a good reason.. but..

I have an Aerogarden at my apartment & it's growing a bunch of herbs that are ok for dragons, so when my boy sauntered up to the greens and decided he wanted to eat some I didn't argue with him. He had a few bites of basil, some thyme, dill, and then some chives. Suddenly I remembered chives are potentially toxic & freaked out. He only had one mouthful and it was of immature very thin leaves so it wasn't much, but.. I'm in a panic. Are there any studies that show toxicity in dragons, or is it an assumption? I can't find anything online, but again I'm flustered so please point me the right way if you know of something. He seems perfectly fine & even seemed to enjoy them.. but..

Help!!

"Chives 1.6:1 3.3% .7% 2.5% 91% High vit. C, high oxalates, high vit.A (44 IU/g), potential toxicity"

Thats what this site says: http://www.beautifuldragons.503xtreme.com/Nutrition.html
It has the chives labeled as a "questionable" food, and not a "never" one at least... Sorry I cant help much, but I hope hes OK!

Thanks Jess. He's trained to drink from a syringe so I gave him a big long drink of water afterward. He's just sitting there sunning himself wondering why I'm so frantic over him.. I really hope it's no big deal!

How is your BD doing?

My first bd Jasper enjoyed a mouthful of chives from time to time. It never did him any harm.

Thanks guys, he's doing just fine. I - like most beardie owners - merely panicked over nothing.

Panicking over nothing is what we're good at! :wink:
