Soybeans for Beardies?

gr8fr0g Jul 12, 2004 01:45 AM

Are soybeans ok for beardies yes or no? Can't find much info on the net regarding soybeans and beardies. Please post any websites you may have to back up your answer.

Thanks in advance!

Soybeans possibly aren't good for reptiles. They have elements that block the absorption of nutrients. There hasn't been enough research yet to prove this in reptiles, but it has been proven in other animals/people. This is the beans themselves, I do believe that the leaves of the plant are safe.

I can't find the exact post where I read this before, but searching through the archives brings up:
