Can bearded dragons eat aloe plants? If they can, how should I prepare it? I looked it up but it’s pretty mixed so I just wanted to verify with a professional. Thanks!

Thanks for reaching out about Clyde. Pure aloe plant can be a little caustic on the mucous membranes being a succulent and mildly alkaline. Fronds can be scrubbed in the skink and then thin slices offered. good luck.
