Carrots, yes. You might also watch out for Kale.

Try this one. This Food Chart has been up some time. It was adapted for Bearded Dragons from the Green Iguana Society's Chart several years ago with their permission.

As far as enticing the dragon to eat greens, try feeding greens first thing in the AM and give no bugs until early afternoon. Leave the greens in until the next morning, then swap the greens out with fresh again. Also, we feed them in a big pile right next to the basking spot. 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!

Are you still looking for alfalfa? If so, do you have farm stores or feed shops nearby? The cheapest way is to buy Alfalfa seeds by weight, like for planting (as opposed to sprouting). Usually bulk seeds are found in feed stores. Fresh alfalfa grows at an astonishing rate and smells like heaven. The dragons just go crazy.

When we lived in the city, we didn't have any space so we grew it in pots on the porch. In fact, we grew a lot of greens that way as well. Most greens will also grow indoors under lights or in a South-facing window - from planting to harvest in 28 days.
