Physalis??

[Pinkspatula]

Does anybody know if bearded dragons can eat the fruit, Physalis? I thought I'd read somewhere that they can but now I can't find any information on it so I'm no longer sure if I am wrong or right... Thank you.

If you have a particular variety in mind, maybe search by common name. I'm not sure if you have them growing or are buying from the store... It appears that some members of the physalis family are potentially dangerous and others may cause illness while some are edible, like tomatillos.

However, I can't find any varieties on safe/not safe lists. If it's not edible for humans, it is not likely edible for dragons. Not being familiar with them, and seeing they have suspicious cousins, I would be hesitant to say it's ok.

They are shop brought, edible for us, also known as cape gooseberries... Still... If its uncommon then best to not give him them, thank you.
