    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Where can I buy dandelions for the uros we do not have any, is there a place on line to purchase them, thanks we have 2 Egyptian uros that would love them
 
I keep an organic yard and harvest from it.
No herbicides, no pesticides no "weed n feed".

I am able to harvest several edible "weeds" from my yard.
 
I do the same- if you don't have available yard space there are some good commercial planter boxes (I use 'The Earth Box' for some of my veggies). I would be glad to send you seeds.
I don't use 'weed-n-feed', my neighbors do and they wonder why their trees die after a while.
 
Well, I can get plenty of dandelions during summer......but even if I dig through the snow chances are I'm not going to find any in the middle of March here, lol. You've gotten me to thinking though.....dandelions seem plenty easy to grow, (they do their best to replace everything that is SUPPOSED to grow in my garden!) I wonder why one couldn't set up an indoor dandelion planter for the winter? Some might say that's crazy....but well, those are probably the same people that already think I'm crazy for having snakes and lizards as pets!
 
I store bags of the blossoms in the freezer for winter. Yes the texture is different but they can be torn up and used like a "garnish" over the winter food. I rely on pelleted iguana chow for my iguana in the winter. He loves pelleted food. I supplement that with whatever fresh supermarket greens I can get in winter.

Dandelions are the first flowering "weed" to appear in spring in Montana. So it won't be long now.
 
Wegman's has Dandelions and much more

I buy all my greens for my Uros at Wegmans. They are a chain but I don't know where you are located. Check them out online at http://www.wegmans.com/

They also have some really good pre-bagged mixes of endive, escarole and raddicio. My Uros also love Arugula. Wegmans sells edible flowers also if you want to give them another treat.

Enjoy!
 
I will try there my husband doesn't want me to get them out of the yard from where he has used chemicals in the past, I would like to get them for our beardies also. thanks for the info

If you have any health food stores in your area, you can probably get them there. Thats where I get all of mine.

Health food stores?

I live in very rural Iowa.....meaning we eat red meat (and lots of it), taters drowned in gravy, real butter......I couldn't even tell ya where the nearest "health food store" is, lol. ;)
 
are you still offering some dandelion seeds i would like to get some i cant find them at the local garden center
 
That's because the local garden center is usually in the business of selling stuff to kill dandelions.
You will be able to collect your own before too much longer.
 
I found them at wild oats food store , thanks to everyone who replied. We don't like to use the ones in our yard because of the chemicals that are put on it, (to help the grass grow), I use to grow them for our beardies but they have gotten picky about what to eat.
