You could try freezing it? I use frozen veg a fair bit, thawed out of course! also butternut squash will keep for a couple of weeks in the fridge no probs. Carrots will usually keep for about a week too.

I can refrigerate the squash and always have carrots here for the goats but it said to feed carrots only occasionally (just how often is 'occasionally' anyway?) and to use mainly greens.
Out of the daily stuff on the list, I have no access to most of them. Where to buy alfalfa greens in winter, or cactus plant. I should be able to get collard greens if they are called spring greens here but once a plant is cut, it starts losing nutritional value which is why frozen veg contain more than veggies which may have been sitting in the supermarket for a week.
So many things to learn about. Good job I have a fine crop of nice juicy dandelions. I also have loads of other 'weeds' which are valuable for birds and tortoise, like sow thistle, groundsel, chickweed,hogweed. No mention of these is made in the list which seems predominantly to be made up of stuff you have to buy from a supermarket and not what you can grow yourself, pick daily and is full of goodness.

,
We've bought our veg for the beardies this way for years with absolutely no ill effects - if you'd ever seen some of the type of vegetation available to them in the wild you'd expect week old supermarket stuff to still be higher in nutritional value. As to the non-appearance of some types of plant on the recommended lists, it would be reasonable to expect that they haven't in fact been tested and therefore, unless you're very confident in your knowledge of both plant and dragon you should not be trying them.

well to be honest fenwoman if you can be bothered to drive 9 miles to get veggies for a rep then you shouldnt have one they cant live on dandilions alone

you can buy bagged salad that keeps fresh in the fridge for a week the tatsoi mix herb mix etc nothing wrong with that what so ever its what the rest of us do i keep all mine in the bottom of the fridge and all the salads are fine my reps havent suffered from doing that so there is no reason why you cant do it either


they need a good selection of veg and salads and i,m sure you wont have what they need fresh they arent like torts at all

i sugest before you actually get one you really read up more and think long and hard about getting one tbh

i didnt see carrots on there but ive been told to feed them to my beardy and can he have carrots outta a tin lol or do they have to be raw i think that would be too hard for him tho

Feed raw grated carrots occasionally, they shouldn't be an everyday staple.
