FRUIT AND VEGGIES: Some dragons will eat fruit and veggies when it’s offered, but many dragons will not take fruit and veggies at all! Keepers that have success with this find fruit is preferred. Unfortunately fruit tends to be very high in phosphorus and very low in many other nutrients with the largest benefit being additional fluids and vitamins. Fruit that have good calcium content include figs, raspberries, cantaloupe, strawberries and blueberries ... starting to slide now on the amount of calcium ... I think mangos and papaya’s are ok too? Veggies that have an adequate calcium to phosphorus ratio: Greens such as collards, dandelion (flowers edible too), and mustard greens. (Kale, spinach and other greens of this variety are high in oxalates which bind to calcium making it unusable) leafy veggies of the lettuce family have almost no nutrients thus are very low in value other than for their water content. Yellow squash, sweet potato, parsnips, green beans, and occasionally carrots ... Veggies such as broccoli contain oxalates and as stated above that binds to calcium rendering it unusable. for further info you can visit this site ask as many questions as you want... |

Watermelon, nectarines, squash, raspberries, strawberries, banana, apple, green grapes, collared greens etc. He mostly just like fruits... but i havent tried many veggies Those are the favorites though. Just remember when offering hard fruits and such like apples that they are really small and easy to eat pieces... |
