就爬行动物而言，须龙是相对冒险的食者。它们有一种吞下——至少是尝试——几乎所有摆在它们面前的东西的倾向。
But what about raisins?In the wild, bearded dragons are known to eat fruit.However, it’s normally fresh and not dried.Nevertheless, the question remains:
大胡子龙能安全吃葡萄干吗?
是的。长胡子的龙可以放心地吃葡萄干，不用担心有毒。然而，这并不一定意味着他们应该这么做。你很快就会发现，葡萄干并不是你的胡须最好的食物。
When consumed in mass quantities or very regularly, raisins can harm your lizard’s diet and health.
葡萄干营养信息
When scoping out a new addition to your bearded dragon’s diet, you need to pay close attention to the nutritional content of that item—particularly protein content, fat, fiber, calcium, and the calcium to phosphorus ratio.
每100克葡萄干含有3.7克蛋白质和0.46克脂肪。长胡子的龙需要这两者才能强壮健康地成长。每100克葡萄干还含有3.7克纤维。纤维对蜥蜴来说是非常重要的，因为它有助于保持它们的消化健康。
关于钙，每100克葡萄干含有50毫克钙和101毫克磷。当你的宠物吃这种干燥的食物时，这就是最大的问题之一水果．
Unhealthy Calcium to Phosphorus Ratio
须龙和其他爬行动物每天都需要大量的钙。当它们成长为成熟生物时，这有助于支撑它们的骨骼结构。
Calcium is also extremely important for gravid females to ensure that their eggs are strong enough to endure the laying process.Also, without a sufficient amount of calcium, female egg-layers will risk a major loss of calcium and become susceptible to many complications.
However, it’s not just about getting as much calcium as possible.You’ll need to keep track of how much phosphorus is entering your bearded dragon’s diet.Phosphorus effectively prevents calcium from being absorbed into their bodies.
这就是为什么钙和磷的推荐比例是2:1 -或者2份钙和1份磷。这将确保你的大胡子龙可以获得适当的钙含量，他们需要。
但是对于葡萄干，你会发现这个比例完全颠倒了。磷的含量是钙的两倍!这对你的蜥蜴是非常有害的，如果喂它们大量导致问题，如骨代谢疾病．
糖含量高
Another downside to your bearded dragon eating raisins comes from their high sugar content.Raisins, like most dried水果, have a huge concentration of sugar with around 59.19 grams of sugar per 100 grams!
幸运的是，糖尿病在长胡子的龙中极为罕见。然而，仍然会出现很多问题，例如:
大胡子龙吃葡萄干的好处
While raisins aren’t the best snack for your松狮蜥时不时地给他们吃一颗葡萄干对他们的健康有一些好处。
Raisins are chock full of great dietary fiber.If your bearded dragon is having bowel complications or another digestive issue, the fiber contained in a raisin can help get them back on track to being regular.
只要确保只给他们一到两个——这是一整顿饭的价值。
多长时间给你的大胡子龙喂葡萄干?
Although non-toxic and technically safe to eat, we don’t recommend feeding your bearded dragon raisins regularly.Their high sugar content and undesirable calcium to phosphorus ratio can lead to some serious complications down the road if they have them too regularly.
If you do want to toss your bearded dragon a raisin, we only recommend that you do so once a month at a maximum.有很多其他美味的小吃那里有你的蜥蜴，满足他们的标准，过着最好的生活。
