LIST OF EDIBLE FLOWERS & PLANTS
FOR BEARDED DRAGONS


I recently added the more common vegetables and fruits that most of us use, so that anyone from a non- English speaking country may have better luck tracking down suitable food.

Melissa Kaplan also has an excellent site for alternative names of the common fruits and vegetables (in several different languages), so give that a try too. http://www.sonic.net/melissk/vegetablenames.html

February 2002- I just found this page and it's got great edible plant information! http://www.turtlecafe.com/ediblelandscaping.htm

This list is by no means comprehensive and no guarantee is given or implied as to its accuracy (that's so you don't sue me- I'm not worth a bean anyway!) Another good tip is to try searching (I got over 100 hits using Google.)

If you have ANY doubts - DOUBLE CHECK every time you consider offering something new

Make sure that whatever you're giving has not been treated with herbicide, insecticide or any other kind of chemical

If you spot a mistake on this list or can help fill in the gaps, please let me know.
