Hi there, I want to feed my beardie,Mr wendle, dandelions but where do i get them??? I know that sounds mad but you shouldn't feed anything that could've been sprayed with chemicals so where do i get organic dandelions?????

I live in a 3rd floor apartment so can't grow them in the garden but my mate has a garden so i suppose i could ask her. but sorry to sound stupid again but how do you grow them?????

Can you get seeds from the garden centre?

HELP!!!!

Buy dandelion seeds from here and just grow them in pots

eBay UK Shop - Shelled Warriors: tortoise, tortoises, limestone flour

Also the best staple for your beardies on nutrition list is collards(USA) here they are called spring greens(UK) available in the cabbage section of most supermarkets

Many thanks mummy bear.

I'll get my gardening gloves out!
And yes it took me a while to do the translation thing but I am currently feeding Mr wendle spring greens every day.

For some reason dragons seem to be big fans of BIG piles.

The greens do get crispy, but many of the dragons seem to prefer them that way (the dragon version of potato chips?).

We start adding a bit shredded hard squashes and sliced fresh green beans on top of the greens at about 16 weeks. At this time, we offer raspberries - only one or two - once a month as a treat if the dragon is eating the good veggies well.

At 20 weeks, the hard veggies are fed in a separate dish and more is provided. Fruit is then offered twice a month.

Good luck!

Can anyone help please? I have 2 adult beardies (bought as adults recently) but neither of them is eating greens - or any kind of veggies/fruit. I have tried a vast selection and tried giving them veggies in the morning with no live food until the afternoon but they are still not eating it! I am new to reps and getting very worried because I want to do the best for them but short of liquidising and force feeding (only joking!) I don't know what to do next! Any advice would be appreciated.
