wild edible flowers and weeds...

gexy Mar 13, 2005 06:02 PM

I was reading a book about edible, wild flowers and weeds. I was wondering if they are edible for us would they be safe for uromastyx. Amoung the listed flora were Day lily, bull thistle, red clover, birds foot, cat's ear and chicory just to name a few. Any thoughts on this?

i have fed chicory before but my uros were not too fond of it. i got the idea from the beautiful dragons web page. http://forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=739014,739139
i think cats ear and the bird foot is on douglas dix's web page. he has a guide to edible flowers on deerfernfarms.com, however it is not completed

They love the day lilies, rose petals, clover from the grass, dandiline flowers of course. Pansies, and hibiscus flowers.

Thats just a few that I use, that they love.
