Hey hi!
I recently acquired a Smart Garden 9 with the intention of growing fresh veg for myself and my bluey and I was overjoyed to see the online store sells pods of arugala and leaf mustard (which I assume is a different way to say mustard leaves) but they also sell garden cress which is I learned is not water cress, but they are similar.
Which had me wondering if garden cress is safe for blueys to eat? The nutrition is a bit different and I have to say I don't understand some of the more complicated comparisons but if anyone knows from personal experience or can decipher the info from the site below, I'd appreciate it!
Thanks!

Re: Garden Cress?
With a few exceptions , in the main if it's safe for you to eat , it's safe to feed to the skink (trick is convincing the skink that it's food).

Re: Garden Cress?
almost anything that you eat is food for a skink, and if you do not know any reason not to and have the information that it is related to something they can eat, i would say to go for it.

My baby loves her veggies, especially her greens. I expect she'll gobble it right up!

Well I'd rather be safe than sorry so I thought I'd ask. Never hurts to after all.
Thank you both for your input.
