i know iceberg is no good but what about lambs lettuce or apollo lettuce are they ok oh and also what about lollo rosso and red oak leaf???????

As long as you don't overdo it they shouldn't harm your beardie but they aren't exactly good for it - you'd be much better off buying spring greens from the supermarket and using those instead.

I buy mixed lettuce pre packs, which have lambs lettuce, lollo rosso, frisee, water cress, radichio(sp?), rocket, etc. i also give them little gem.

I buy the bags like that - mixed leaf.

Some for me,
some for the lizard,
and some to help gut load the lizard's food....

Dandilyon leaves are cheaper and better for beardies. I've been trying to grow my own dandilyons in a pot indoors so I have a CLEAN supply of leaves.
I've also jus bought a "living salad" from the supermarket. It's a little pot of growing salad greens, I've put it in my WD tank as I'm supposed to be encouraging him to geat more greens (FAT CHANCE!) and it helps keep any lose locusts gut loaded too

TD.x.

Lettuce isn't great for them.

The biggest problem with the bags of mixed leaves and lettuce is that it is mainly lettuce, although some is good for getting fluids in the dragon its not good as a staple as it is mainly made up of water.

beardies love sugar snap peas... chop them up and watch them munch. sugar snap peas are ace for for crix to feed on too.. they last longer than lettuce and dont m,ake the crix boxes smell horrible... also they dont wilt under heat.. so all round a far better buy... peas are good too.. frozen peas then just defrost... easy to keep .... cheap etc

lettuce can give beardies swollen tummies kinda like wind... poor things LOL..

i also use blueberries ( expensive but boy do the beardies love them) and rocket
