Chewing artificial leaves

[Regnad]

Stan (4-month old Panther) has started chewing on the fake ivy. I figure that real plants are the best answer but I was hoping to wait until he moves into a big cage.

What and how can I give him vegetation to eat? Collard greens in a cup?

Thanks for any suggestions...

Yes you are right real plant would be best hate to see him sallow some plastic slim chance but posable.
you can safety pin some greens up where he like to sit.

Thanks for the advice. I clipped a collard green leaf on the ivy and just watched him eat a lot of it. I had no idea that they liked this as much. It's great to see him tear bits off. He seemed to really enjoy it.

Can he be allowed to eat as much greens as he wants and are Collard greens good for him and what else would be good?

Thanks a lot for the help!

That's what i do. my little veiled was doing the same thing, trying to eat the plastic ones. so i just put some fresh greens right by his fav hangout!
