Concerened about oranges

[Joshish]

The list you all gave me http://www.beautifuldragons.503xtreme.com/Nutrition.html states the oranges are ok for Beardies. BUT i searched online and asked lizard owners and they all said Citrus fruits are Toxic for beardies. Please take concern for this for it may harm your beardie.

They way I see it is there are so many food sources they can eat, so why risk giving them something that could hurt them. I've heard the same thing about citrus being bad for them so I wouldn't risk it.

Once a month wont hurt them but yes citrus is not the best choice for them.

This makes me wonder about the effects of feeding B.Dubia oranges, as is so often recommended...

Well I only feed my adults oranges. I never feed my adults to my beardie I only feed him the nymphs. However, I believe that they roaches stomachs breakdown the orange and it's no longer a threat to beardies.
