pineapple and beardies

Can bearded dragons eat pineapple? I have fresh pineapple and would like to share it with her. I know they cant eat citrus fruits, but is the pineapple OK?
Thanks!

Everything I've ever read says that beardies can have pineapple. As with everything moderation is the key paired with variety.

Thanks, Zoo Nanny. I wasn't sure if it was too related to citrus. I'll just give some to her as part of her "salad". She gets a large variety of mostly veggies/greens and some fruit. Dandelion flowers are her favorite though.

pineapple is botanically about as far from citrus as you can get. I've fed it to mine on many occasions w/o a problem.
