outside clover/shamrock things?

banana Jul 03, 2005 07:21 PM

Are these okay for beardies to eat? I notice that Kaida likes to eat them, so is it okay if I let her go ahead or are they bad? She hasn't got sick from them, so I assume there's nothing wrong, but any input is appreciated, Thanks!

Are you talking about the wild clover that has either puffy white or pink flowers? If so, these are edible (you can have some too if you want LOL) My BD is partial to dandelion flowers

Lol yes I was talking about those. I don't think I'll be inclined to try them myself soon though... although I have had the really large ones before that taste like sour apple. Thanks for your reply!

Clover is ok, shamrocks are bad. Clovers have three rounded leaves while shamrocks usually have four triangular leaves, those are the ones that taste sour.Any clover like plant that has a sour flavor shouldn't be fed to a dragon, it will have a oxalates(sp?) content.

Clover is fine, as long as the lawn hasn't been sprayed by insecticides or chemical fertilizers, as these can be harmful to your dragon, deadly if the concentrations are high.
