I just bought another jar of baby food, but this time it’s chicken & rice baby food with vegetables. I am gonna use it as an ingredient in my slurry for my sick beardie, if it’s safe.

If you're using baby food, you might be better off using a single item food and rotating between flavors. You can also make your own by blending a mixture of veges (and/or bugs) and then running it through a sieve and cheesecloth to get the same consistency as baby food. This allows you to really fine tune the recipe for a dragon's nutritional needs (variety) and is cheaper in the long run.
