Ideas? (food suggestions)

I hear that salads are good ways to feed your beardie vegetables. It's not the problem of what can she eat, it's what ingredients are good in salad. So far I have a made a Strawberry Basil mix, literally two ingredients, she also eats kale and parsley. So does anyone have a good beardie salad recipe? It can have a few insects in it, but I would prefer plants only. She needs to start eating more greens now that she is almost an adult.

I do a mix of collard greens, mustard greens, bok choy leaves, peppers, apples. Anything the wife has laying around that he can eat.

 

[Nero]

I'll try that out.

Ours loves fresh green beans. And squash.

 

[Thomas Woosley]

I second that with Collard Greens, Mustard Greens, Turnup Greens another good one to add. Fresh Green beans and you could try dandelion greens to. Mine loves those and Zach my Beardie also loves his dubias.

I have one who will eat anything I put at him, then I have a picky picky boy! I do the same for everyone (I have a Russian tort as well) just to make it easier on me. They get kale, collards always, to mix it up I will occasionally add peppers, carrots, broccoli, I’ve tried squash, strawberry, apple, and yes I cheat and add the dehydrated vegetables and fruit mix. But the favorite of all 3 is their kale and collards. I will hide the Dubai’s in there and sometimes BFSL. I have sprinkled dandelion leaves on there, given them flowers and some herbs.

I give mine a mixture of collard greens, turnip greens, mustard greens, bell peppers, cilantro, butternut squash, sometime carrots, corn and peas. Sometime I might cut up some blueberries, apples and pineapple. Be careful with the kale because of the the calcium binder. Sometime I will also feed him some Repashy as well

I thought that calcium binder thing had been reevaluated?

5 Great Vegetables for Bearded Dragons

At the Northampton Reptile Centre, bearded dragons are by far the most popular pet lizards for beginner keepers. They have a great personality, they don’t get too large and they are normally easy to keep and easy to handle which makes them a great first choice. While it has long been known that...

That is a great site too, don’t get me wrong I’m not saying not to feed Kale at all, I am saying it shouldn’t be fed as a staple like collard greens, turnip greens, mustard greens, and dandelion greens

 

[N W]

Ok...but if the reason for not feeding it as a staple has been dispelled, then why not?
Not trying to be argumentative, but we have been giving our girl kale for a main portion of her greens since we got her, and I'd like to know for a fact that it's ok or not ok.

My girl has been loving turnip greens and endive greens! For veggies I mix in bell peppers a couple times a week, mango, and raspberries here and there. Those are the only things she actually eats! I’m still experimenting with other veggies for her to try since she seems picky about them.
