Hey everyone! I have been considering making up a batch of salad and freezing it in an ice-cube tray to make preparation easier on me and my beardie (Garrus, 6-month old male). I know I'll have to add thiamine back after it is thawed, and that is no issue. Has anyone had experience doing this for their beardies? Did you notice a change in appetite/feeding behavior between fresh and thawed greens?
Next question. How does this look for a salad mixture?
--Mustard greens
--Collard greens
--Butternut squash
--Prickly pear
--Chayote squash
--Mango (occasional topping)
Final question. Does anyone have experience feeding alfalfa hay to their beardie? I know people who recommend adding soaked rabbit chow pellets to the top of the salad, and rabbit chow is mostly alfalfa/timothy hay-based. I have dehydrated alfalfa meal pellets at home (the horse eats them). I am considering soaking the alfalfa pellets in water (turning it into a fluffy, moist mash) and mixing it in with the rest of the chopped greens. I like it because it is high in protein and calcium, but am unsure as to whether a bearded dragon could adequately digest forage of that type.
Cheers!
