Dandelion greens for bearded dragon?

I haven't given my beardie greens for a few days, and I couldn't get out, but there are some dandelions out in my yard. Would it be okay for me to give him these? Rinsed and cleaned well of course. Only issue is, parts of my yard were sprayed with weed killer, so if I rinse them well, would they be okay? I'm not even sure if they came in contact with the spray. And it was about a month ago. Thanks.

    Yeah the greens can soak up the weed spray in their roots. I wouldn't chance it. I would look up what else he can eat n c if u have any of it for now

    Im not completely sure about bearded dragons but i assume it would be the same rule of thumb as it is with uromastyx.

    You cannot feed dandelion greens unless the area you are getting them from have been growing without weed killer and pesticides for 2 years at least.

    I grown my own now for my uros so i don't have to worry about this but i wouldn't top be on the safe side you dont want to be giving your BD any weed killer or pesticides.
