Yes you can. Beardies are omnivores, and greens make up a good portion of their diet.
Other greens you can feed your beardie include collard, turnip, kale, endive, escarole, mustard, and dandelion.
You can also feed him/her other veggies like green beans, squash, chicory, watercress, red bell pepper, cilantro, peas, and sweet potato.

No you should not feed it to them..well yeah you can but it has no nutritional value for them...you should feed the beardy crickets, meal worms and if he is big enough pinky's baby mice live only and aside from bugs and pinky's feed a variety of veggies and greens such as kale and collard greens or escarole also yellow or green squash shreded up and some fruit like grapes or melons but not to much the best of all is collard greens they are a great source of calcium for the beardy...yeah I have one and a green iguana...also what kind of light do you have you should have a light called a mercury vapor bulb also make sure you have a heating pad not a heating rock...any other questions just ask...

Eh, you can, but I dont reccomend it. Romain is the only lettuce that has any kind of nutritonal value what so ever. I dont reccomend any other type lettuce however as most of them are completely water.
I suggest Collard, Mustard, Endive, or occasional kale. I have a great link with a large list of great food for beardeds.

Yes, you sure can. Although I've noticed some things my bearded dragon likes & some things he does not. For example: Yes: Romaine
No: Spinach
Yes: Raisin
No: Tomato
