I was just wondering whether it was safe for bearded dragons to eat bean sprouts? If anyone has advice or can let me know that would be great.

Thank you :)

From what I've found they can be fed bean sprouts but only as an occasional item as there calcium : Phosphorus ratio is not very good, and they are also quite acidic in their nature.
Here are some good links to go off of as these 2 links is what most of us go off of:
