hello guys, read somewere that chams like to eat dandylion flowers, what part do they eat or is it all safe.

It's all safe (leaf, stem, flower, root) as long as no pesticides or weed killers were used in the area!

That's good to hear. I'm gonna collect some and see if they're a hit or a miss.

Thanks for posting this! I was wondering the same thing. So if we get them from outside, do we just make sure to wash them really well? I read that soap and water plus lots of rinsing helps to get all the pesticide off the plants, would this work for dandelions too?

Great for crickets if your cham won't eat them directly.

Better to just collect weeds that have not been sprayed.

You could always grow your own. My local rep shop seels dandelion seeds in the tortoise food section. I keep meaning to plant some. Just another thing I need to get around to doing!

Every part of the plant is safe. Crickets, Roaches, and Superworms tend to go after the leaves and roots over the flowers.
