In captivity, their diet is typically made up of commercial bearded dragon food, fruits, vegetables, and live insects.
Green onions are a type of onion that is commonly used as a flavoring in many dishes. They are rich in vitamins and minerals, and they contain a sulphur compound that gives them their distinctive taste. Green onions are safe for humans to eat, but can they be fed to bearded dragons?
The answer is yes, bearded dragons can eat green onions. However, green onions should only be given to them in moderation. Bearded dragons should have a diet that consists mostly of commercial food, vegetables, and fruits. Live insects should make up a small portion of their diet. If you choose to feed your bearded dragon green onions, make sure to wash them thoroughly first and cut them into small pieces. Do not give them more than a few green onions at a time, and always monitor your lizard to make sure they are not having any adverse reactions.
