Question
Dandilion leaves maybe but wouldn't think dock leaves, as with any wild gathered plants make sure not been in contact with chemicals and away from busy roads.
I know dandies are on the feeding list for a lot reptiles but my bts wouldn't entertain them and sent me off to the green grocers for his dinner (but he's a bit er I mean a lot spoiled).
I used to get my beardie a type of potted succulent, absolutely loved them and lived to a ripe old age so must have been ok. Will try to remember the name of it, used to take him to the florists to choose his own he loved it in there.

does anyone else know??
my beardies will only eat dandelions but the kids accidentally put some dock leaves in yesterday and i had to wrestle them away. would be good if it is ok as it will give them some variety.

Dock leaves are a lot bigger, more of a long wide oval shape and no pointy bits
