Beardie eating grass and clovers outside

[stijngh]

Hey guys,

Is it safe for my beardie to eat some grass and clovers when I'm taking him outside? And I guess licking everything outside can't be that harmful either?

I just keep telling myself: "How would they otherwise survive in the nature, they're still animals after all so a little of this and that can't be that bad."

Licking everything outside isn't harmful, it's there way to know what is safe and eating a piece of grass (not sure if clovers are okay) is fine as long as it's not a lot of it. The difference between their nature and our nature is that our nature is treated with pesticides and fertilizers and we have no idea what was treated and what was not. Accidentally eating something outside should't be a problem just keep an eye on them.

Ok thank you for your confirmation. Exactly as I thought

I've read that covers are fine in moderation as long as you know they don't have pesticides on them. Grass is also okay in moderation. Dandelions are really good for them, so long as they are bug and pesticide free
