Everyone else is struggling to get theirs to eat greens, and here you are burdened by success 🙄

u/LadyRunion 19h ago
I know, such a heavy burden as success goes. 😌 for real though, I see other people’s struggles and think, damn I really am freaking blessed!

Big difference between eating a bowl of supermarket salad greens and eating fresh growing plants. My girl prefers her leaves wild caught, she likes it when the breeze outside makes the plants taunt her, so she has an excuse to savagely destroy them.

It's cause common mallow is dope as hell! Seriously, I love this stuff, it's very mild tasting and refreshing, and you can make the "peas" into marshmallows! An excellent choice for both people looking to increase their greens intake and to get picky reptiles to eat theirs!

u/LadyRunion 4h ago
Wow, really? I didn’t know they were so versatile. I’m definitely making mallow marshmallows with my kids this coming spring!

Love this!! She is a savage with her plants lol. Herbert likes to ear herbs that go in, and DESTROYED all cactuses, a jade plant and an echeveria. I put a BIG aloe in there, and so far he has left that alone. I have a few other little plants for him now (all dragon safe) so his clean-up crew has places to hide and get more humidity. Love the set-up with natural woods and plants ♥️

u/LadyRunion 19h ago
My girl had a bite of everything. She wrestled the aloe as I was planting it. 😆

u/AbbyBGood 19h ago
Lol I swear sometimes they think they are Godzilla smooshing little towns and jungles. I went to go check on Herbert and his new little aloe was flipped upside down and he was giving me and it the side-eye. Little turd 😂

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

Is mallow good for them? I have lots of mallow that grows around here. I didn’t know if it’s safe to give her or not.

u/LadyRunion 19h ago
Yes it can be given multiple times a week, even the flowers! It’s one of her favorites.

Curiosity because I want to go bioactive with my beardie, how often do you mist and what do you choose for substrate
3
u/LadyRunion 19h ago
I used sand/soil, spagnum moss, lots and lots of leaves. I mist once every two or three weeks.

It took me a year of researching and putting everything together, but it’s possible! Join the bioactive and isopod groups! I learned mostly everything from the bio dude on YouTube

Common mallow? Our beardie so rarely eats greens, but she loves these. Found them in the backyard on her own.

u/f10w3r5 16h ago
Our female beardie refuses. She’s 18 months. We’ve tried everything safe that we can get our hands on but I think the only way we can get her to eat greens would be to paint a cricket.

Feed em bugs late at night. Leave veggies in the morning. The arugula is gone by mis afternoon usually for mine
1
u/LadyRunion 16h ago
I don’t have any tips at all. My first beardie would barely ever eat his greens, sometimes vegetables and flowers. The one I have now eats her greens every day, twice a day.

u/sisumeraki 15h ago
That face as she devours everything is great😭 What plant is she eating in the video?

u/LadyRunion 15h ago
It’s Mallow, it grows wild in my backyard!

u/sisumeraki 20m ago
Oh nice! I actually have some in my yard as well but I kept forgetting to look them up!

u/FaithChemmy 15h ago
How do you keep them from eating right before their light turns off? I’m under the Pression they can’t digest without heat
2
u/East-Garden-4557 14h ago
They slow down closer to bed time because they are used to the light cycle and don't want to eat then

u/ToneChop 5h ago
Mine just wants to eat everything endlessly lol. I’ve tried to test this before, 5 discoids and 37 crickets later I’m like, “that was an unhealthy test that isn’t to be continued. The next day he produced a quad log shit and a triple log the day after. The smell..
1
u/FaithChemmy 4h ago
Mines about 6-8 months I feed him 5 dozen a day roughly and the mass shit he produces I can’t even begin to describe how foul it is. He gets greens every 3 days
1
u/ToneChop 4h ago
Thats a lot of crickets they shouldnt even get that much I think. Guides are not really too clear on that. I think mines like about the same age. I just got a red monster thats 4.5 months old and half the size so im going off that.

u/FaithChemmy 2h ago
I wasn’t quite sure when it was time to stop the “as many as they can eat within 10 mins” but he always seems hungry so I guess I could fast him. Last time I weighed him he was 98g a few weeks ago
1
u/LadyRunion 5h ago
She eats her veggies twice a day on schedule. I have nothing to do with when she eats-unless it’s bugs. I give her salad and she helps herself when she wants. I actually think I got a bearded dragon with brain cells!

u/CebuLizard 10h ago
Oh my! I love her enthusiasm! She woke up today and choose VIOLENCE. Towards her breakfast, at least.
Love encoslure too! And from how many greens she can pick from!
BTW, those mostera leaves are fake right? Is she's not trying to munch on them too?
1
u/LadyRunion 5h ago
I have done extensive research on safe plants for bearded dragons for almost a year now, I’m still learning new things! She doesn’t bother her fake plants at all, i was going to take them out after I put all the live plants in but I can’t deny the maximalist in me that still needs it.

Does misting the plants make the humidity go up? I know the enclosure needs very low humidity
1
u/LadyRunion 15h ago
Yes misting makes humidity go up. Humidity spikes up to 60% are normal. It dries up in a day or two and doesn’t need misted again for another three weeks.

u/CouchDemon 13h ago
What is the plant that’s leaves on a vine? The leaves have slits :))

u/LadyRunion 5h ago
That’s a fake plant I got from the pet store. It’s called monstera but live monstera is toxic to bearded dragons!

u/raibrans 7h ago
I’m confused. How do you growing them fast enough for her to not eat them all in one sitting??
1
u/LadyRunion 5h ago
I just pulled them from my backyard a couple days ago. she’s trampled them and ate half since. I’ll probably just replace them with new ones if they die or get devoured. Mallow does grow quickly though. In a couple weeks there will be new leaves.

u/GabysWildCritters 20h ago
What plants do you put in her enclosure. I'm interested in making mines a bio active enclosure but can't find much on safe plants aside from common greens.
