Where to find dandelions

Hey, i'm wondering for my bluey, i can't find and dandelions! only the lookalike cats paw.

They are EVERYWHERE, so are cats paw, but just keep on looking.
Best way to find is when your walking look on the grass for yellow flowers..........

i can't dind any, i live across the road from a race track and all they have are cats paw. grr lol

Just keep looking, make sure they only have one flower per stem
Dont hold me to this if something bad happens but iv fed both kinds to my beardies and they loved them

so what do i look for in dandelions? what differs them from cat paws?

 

[GeckoJosh]

Easiest way for me to explain is Dandelions have one stem per flower coming from the ground, the cats have one stem that branches of into multiple stems that each have their own flower, also the stems look quite different in colour (dandelions are a light pinky/beige while cats ares solid green)

Are Cat Paws bad for beardies?

I have them all through my yard when the grass starts growing..i wouldnt pick them from anywhere else..

 

[Asharee133]

bummer. no dandelions then. all i can find in the supermarkets is bok choy :/ no endive, collard greens or nothing!

 

[GeckoJosh]

Whats wrong with Bok choy?
All the other asian bok choy like vegies are great as well

ahh can't say i've seen true dandelions then. lol

I dotn believe you, they are EVERYWHERE, often growing side by side with cats
