I have a Bearded Dragon.. I also grow a lot of Basella Rubra (Malabar Spinach).. it's not a true spinach which I have been told is not good for them, can they eat this?

Although I can find no specific reference for or against Malabar spinach (aka indian spinach, palak, climbing spinach), I would recommend not feeding it to Joey. It may be similar enough to bind or block calcium as true spinach may do if fed in large quantities. There are a multitude of other greens that can be fed safely instead.
