gutload question

[reptileman]

Is spinach safe to use as part of a gutload for panther chameleons?

spinache is one of those veggies that are calcium blockers and if you use alot of it can be bad for panthers, but once in a long while it wouldnt hurt

broccoli, spinache, and tomatoes arethe ones to overall avoid, all inhibit the absorbion of calcium from the blood to bones and such

Yeah i agree with ace.. Every once in a blue moon its ok ..but not recomended.. I buy in bulk wheat bran oats and duck flock raiser..i grind them all together in my blender and use it with fresh potatoe etc for moisture.. It works awsome..
