Fresh picked, home grown parsley. Herbs are one of the easiest things you can grow year-round for your dragons!

Responsible foraging..
Rule 1. Do not ever feed your dragon (or yourself) foraged plants from an area that is/has recently been sprayed with an herbicide or pesticide. These are very toxic and can cause a lot of problems over time. They poison the land and ecosystem.
It is also advised not to pick plants along the road due to exhaust fumes and the toxins associated with those.
Rule 2. Take one, leave one. Even better, take one, leave two! It is important not to disrupt the ecosystem too much. Dandelions, for example, are one of the first pollen sources in Spring. The bugs count on them! You should always leave enough for the local wildlife.
I absolutely love this time of year. It is so nice to get back out after winter and pick fresh food in the morning!

My bearded dragons go nuts when they see me coming with dandelions! I couldn't get the camera out fast enough; she was right there ready to gobble them up as soon as I opened the glass!

What do your dragons eat for breakfast? Today was spaghetti squash in the Fortress!

Warning *** hand-feeding leads to very spoiled, lazy, chunk chunk dragons!
You would think it's drugs the way they go crazy for it. It's not.. just calcium powder π Some dragons rub their whole face in it! Dump a little pile in your tank and see for yourself. They love it!

Fresh pumpkin flowers are a HUGE hit! They are best picked and fed first thing in the morning when the flowers are wide open! Wash out any bugs (there are usually ants crawling about!) And they are ready to go!

I am jealous everytime I watch a dragon lay eggs. They make it look so effortless.. and painless π
