Feeding flowers to beardies.

[ajandj]

Ok, just to check. I've started to tear/rip Yodas greens. Normally l would just chop up the petals from dandelions, pansies and nusturtiums but l am wondering if it's ok to offer the whole flower.

We had Yoda outside today and my daughter went and collected some dandelions and put them near yoda and before l knew it, he gobbles the whole flower. Is that ok?

I think the rule still aplies about the space between their eyes. I've wanted to give hibiscus whole to my beardies becuase it looks prettier that way, lol. After I chop it up it doesn't look nice... But I would say that you should probably still cut it up

Sid eats whole dandelions all the time He scavenges when I take him out onto the lawn... providing they're not MASSIVE ones it should be ok right?

As long as their not huge then I would imagine that it should be ok. Just keep an eye on him. And make sure that no pesticides or other chemicals are used in that area

for greens they just rip off pieces and they get smaller even if eaten whole the rule between the eyes is more about bugs and i find it encourages them to eat there greens better if placed out whole

oh and be careful with wild plant justincase pesticides or other animals feces in the area could make them sick

 

[Polly]

There's definitely no pesticides, I know that for sure

i should try to grow some flowers for mine now

I'd say dandelions would be the easiest flowers ever to grow!
