Food for your Lizards
Hey I was just wondering what type of plants you guys feed you omnivoris herps such as bearded dragons? And does any one that owns 2 or more of the same type of lizard notice that each one may favor a diffrent type of plant.
My blue tongue's favs are pineapple, raspberrys, bannanas and melon. He wont touch alfalfa sprouts, even trys to pick it off his other food.
i am intrested what your guys/gals pets perfer and dislike

My green ig's regular diet, lots of healthy fruits and vegetables that can be consumed by any omnivorous/herbivorous lizard:
Collard greens, dandelion greens, snow peas, any orange-fleshed squash (such as buttercup, kabocha, spaghetti, acorn, etc.), sweet potato, figs, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries (my iguana's favourite!), escarole, green/yellow beans.
Occasional treats include (these are added to his food once in a while for variety. On a regular basis, they're not as healthy for him than the above vegetables):
Drained canned peas, bananas, bell peppers, melon (watermelon, canteloupe and honeydew: nice sources of extra moisture), drained canned mandarin oranges, broccoli, carrot, bok choy. -
Oh! And I forgot to mention alfalfa :) An excellent source of protein and calcium.
But... Sprouts carry an apparently significant salmonella risk.
You're better off buying either the hay or the pellets (packaged as rabbit or hamster food: Also check and make sure that if you buy pellets, they have a high alfalfa content compared to the other ingredients), and using a food processor/blender to grind and chop them up into very fine bits or powder, then mix it into the reptile's other plant food.
