Salad

What all should I put in my bearded dragons salad? I currently have spaghetti squashed, butternut squash, pattypan squash, bell peppers, green peas, collard greens, and bananas. I mainly need to know how often to feed these things to him.

The bell pepper has a lot of water content as well --

All of that stuff I use through the week. I use bell pepper a good bit though simply because he absolutely loves them. With the squash I will be cutting back to only butternut and spaghetti once the yellow and pattypan are done from his weekly supply. I try to separate it all throughout the week so that is not all that goes in his salad everyday. Out of all that I unusually use only 3 items.

The banana should be a treat only.

Hello,

Which greens are you using right now? Those veggies are perfectly fine. If you want to rotate them in
with the greens, just choose a couple & use them for a few days, then rotate to another couple. That is
a terrific variety also! Be sure not to add too much if any water to the greens if you are going to use the
veggies. Just mince or thinly slice up the squash to make sure he doesn't get too much hydration to cause
the runny stools.
Fruit like banana can be given in small amounts, 1 maybe 2 times weekly so he doesn't get too much
sugar. Just like people, moderation is the key, along with variety.

This is my new salad plan for him. Currently using just collard greens bc I got mustard greens but used them all up and haven’t had time to go pick up new ones but will be in august bc some of the veggies I need I don’t have.

That's a good menu.
I like that you're rotating the veggies.
He might be more interested.
