Was making a stew tonight, and had some leftover parsnip. Looked it up, saw it's safe as an "occasional" food. Offered some to Wave.
She grabbed it like I'd been starving her.
The only other veggies she's really shown an interest in are peppers - she'll eat her greens and squash, but she really goes for peppers. Not like the parsnips, though! I was very surprised. But don't mind - I like parsnips, too! Good excuse to buy them occasionally. Everybody likes 'em!
Anyone else have a dragon who loves, of all things, parsnip?! Or anything else that seems kind of odd?
My dragons seem to be rather different in that they really just like green things. I've tried all sorts of fruit and none of it goes over very well. But I'm game on trying anything! Oddly enough, my one bearded dragon likes to eat pineapple on occasion (not very often, but as a treat). How weird. Red seems to scare them away. No strawberries or raspberries for my dragons.
At least they like the "right" color! Good dragons. :wink:
Wave isn't hugely fond of fruit, either - she'll nibble at watermelon and grape and blueberry, takes the occasional bit of strawberry, but likes the peppers (and parsnips, apparently...) a whole lot more. Haven't tried pineapple!
Robert's been on a bit of a hunger strike lately, but he still goes nuts for cherries. I think it's because I gave him bits of cherry when he was first settling in. Comfort food. :lol:
Hmmm will have to try that! my baby will pretty much eat whatever, seems to be snubbing her squash lately though. But the greens she gobbled up before I could get the other dragon's food in his cage...came back and had to give her more! lol! Both mine love greens...leafy greens. As far as other stuff our big guy isn't too interested in much other than the greens...occassional strawberry but thats all! I keep trying though!
Is it really? Wow - for once, I like something healthy! Now if they can just prove that chocolate chip cookies are the perfect supplement (for me, not Wave - she can't have my cookies; there's a limit!)... :wink:
