Quick greens question
Posted: Tue Oct 01, 2013 4:49 pm
So I have had my bluey for a little over 2 weeks now. I love feeding him and varying all the greens/veggies that I mix in with his dog food.
My problem is so far the greens I have bought for him (collard, dandelion, endive) I cannot stand, and they come in such big bunches most of it gets wasted. I am currently growing mustard/collard/and endive but the plants are still young.
My question is...there are a few greens in the grocery stores that are not on this list (swiss chard for example). I have been checking out iguana charts and I see swiss chard "Very high in oxalates and should only be fed occasionally. Should be finely chopped. Ca:P 1.8:1, Pro: 0.2%, Fat: 0.1% " (quoted from http://www.greenigsociety.org/foodchart.htm)
I dont really know what my question is....can I feed my bts veggies/greens based on an iguana's recommendation of staple/occasional greens? because based on that website above there is many similarities, however the iguana website has a few more food items and a little more in depth than the chart I was looking at on bluetongueskinks.net
Thanks for the help. Sorry for the confusion
