    Default Juicer Pulp for Beardies?

    I'm thinking this should be fine, but I want to check with the folks in the know anyway.

    If I run celery, carrots, apples, and cucumbers through my juicer, can I give my beardie the left over pulp as a "salad dressing" of sorts? Is there anything I would have to peel, or would I have to take the seeds out of the apple? The pulp is very fine. I always put a bit of water in his salad bowl to help keep the contents from drying out quickly.

    Thx.

    This should all be great nutrition for your beardie but I would not include any seeds. I am unfamiliar with how a juicer works, but if the seeds are broken open, there can be a danger. Seeds generally pass through the GI tract unchanged. It's a means of dispersal. However inside the protective shell, there are often toxins like arsenic. I don't know how biologically active their form is but what is safe for some animals can be unsafe for others.
