Dandelions

[Ramrod]

My veiled loves dandelions and wondering how much nutritional value they have?
Also is there anything wrong with offering them daily along with his crickets.
He will eat the entire stem,flower buds as well as leaves if I pin them to the cage.

Thanks, his gut is the one who is loaded. Can't believe he can swallow as much as he does.

Just be cautious about where you collect them fertilizers pesticides or chemicals are used on most lawns. People treat them like weeds and often spray them or their lawns to prevent them.

Dandelion greens and flowers are great for your cham. and can be offered 2 to 3 times per week. As mentioned, be aware of your source, as pesticides run rampid.

Great for the bugs you feed. Theyre quite nutritious actually.

Thanks for your replys. The dandelions are all coming from my yard so I feel safe offering them. I'm going to have to dig up the garden and plant weeds.
