Vegetable list for Bearded Dragons, and other omnivorous/vegetarian lizards 

The best two foods to include are

• Spring Greens (available from all major supermarkets sometimes called fresh greens)


• Butternut Squash

If you are only able to provide the above for the animal that will be fine. 

Other leafy greens 

• Chinese leaf cabbage


• Bok Choi


• Romaine lettuce


• Escarole


• Endive


• Leafy fresh herbs such as mint and basil


• Dandelion Leaves 

Some of these are available as a mixed leaf salad, just check it does not contain iceberg lettuce or spinach. 

Other items to make the dish more interesting 

• Bell pepper


• Courgette


• Carrot


• Sweet potato 

Try to avoid using the other varieties of cabbage as they contain a chemical that can prevent the uptake of calcium. 

Do not use spinach and Brussels sprouts as they contain a very high quantity of the chemical found in cabbages. 

Do not use excessively watery vegetables such as 

• Tomatoes


• Celery


• Cucumber


• Iceberg lettuce
