Growing Dandelions in habitat...

[vgaines]

My veiled boy Rebel LOVES greens and loves to snack on his hibiscus plant so I was wondering if it would be ok to grow a dandelion plant in his cage. From my research they are super easy to grow and grow really fast so I was thinking it might be a good plant to add to his cage. I will be upgrading his cage to the XL 24x24x48 this month and I will need more live plants. What do yall think?

How did you get him to eat greens? I've been trying with my boy but not interested but it is still very early days I guess

I noticed that he was taking bites out of his hibiscus so I just decided to try. I cut it up put it in a bowl and placed the bowl is the bottom of his feeding cup. He also likes to eat fruit that way. When he is hungry he will stand in front of his feeding cup, look inside of it and stand there like "hey human, are you going to feed me?" Hes been on a hunger strike the last couple of weeks so I decided to add the feeding cup back hoping he will eat more..

I've grown them outside for years being careful not to let them go to seed so my neighbors don't get upset. The flowers were loved by my uros and turtles.

I live in an interior apartment building so my only option is growing them inside. I wish I could grow them outside...lol I cant wait to see if Rebel likes the plant as much as he like his hibiscus.
