Question about grass

[FireTigress]

Im building an outdoor pen for my beardie and I need to know if there is any danger for him to eat grass. We never spray any thing on the grass or use any kind of fertilizer or pesticides. Our yard has lots of clover and dandilions but Im not sure what kind of grass it is. Is there any kind that is dangerous? What about insects, I know lightning bugs are dangerous, anything else? Thank you in advance for any advice

sounds like you have it under control, should be no problem. Just remember outdoor animals are more subject to nasties like roundworm, pinworm, giardia... do to contact with other animals. Your BD will probably make lunch out of most things that come in the cage.

Sure there's always that chance....that's why a floor need be in the cage :) as well as a careful eye on them ( frequent checks if they are unattended to )

Personally, I will take pics of them, but I use a combination of rubbermaids with the sides cut out and screening put in, and homemade wire cages for outdoor cages.

The dragons will be outside later so I will try to snap some pics.
