Concern about my bearded dragon eating basil “stems”.

[Shaye]

I wanted to plant some basil in the corner sort of near his water dish on the cool/shaded side of his cage but had a small question of concern. I know that he can eat the flower/bud/leaves, but what about the “stem”? Is it even considered that? I just was wondering if it had any different compounds that could be dangerous for him if eaten.

Thank you in advance to any replies!

I don't think that any part of the basil plant is harmful to them so I wouldn't worry about that. He might trample it or not like the taste of it but it's not likely to be harmful at all.
