What greens do I use as a staple specifically?

[Kiley]

I’m wondering what greens specifically I could feed my bearded dragon every day because I have been using kale and I have been reading you should not use a lot of kale and I think it might be makin my bearded dragon feel bad because for the past 2 days she has been really dark and tired.

kale can be used, however it's best to use another staple green along side it.
Most common ones being collard greens, endive, turnip greens, mustard greens.

All of my dragons have LOVED mustard greens. I now grow them year round so that they are more readily available. I can usually find them in a regular grocery store, but during the winter months, sometimes I've had to go to the more organic stores (like whole foods) to find them.

Also, my dragons like to eat dandelion greens. They are a bit harder to find, as only one store near me carries them during the summer and it's hit or miss.

Hope this helps!

They all have their favorites. My guy loves collards and kale (kale is fine) and bok choy. He doesn't like mustard greens much and tolerates turnip greens. (Turnip greens were Cooper's favorite though). I just rotate based on what looks freshest at the store and try to offer as much variety as possible.

Thank you I will start giving her more variety!

Our staple greens here (Australia / shop bought) are buk choi , puk choi, kale, only the green leafy bits.
