Kale In His Enclosure Questions

[KatelinLovesCommah]

I just put Kale leaf & stem into Commahs enclosure. Immediately he "ran" over and started chomping on it. Obvioiusly he LOVES IT! My only concern is that I put the entire stem-leaves in there, and I dont want him to choke on it... or get impacted. I have put cut-up peices in there before, but he wont eat them unless its off the stem! Should I be worried?! He looked fine cutting off peices of the Kale and chomping it down, but I am just parnoid. Please put my worries to rest!

I think he should be okay, he should be able to break it down while digesting as its not too hard is it the stem I mean??

What kind of cham do you have and how old?

 

[DavidBuchan]

You didn't plant it in there, just left a small amount? Absolutely no problem, just don't do it every week. Kale is great in moderation, even if he gets a bit of stem.
Impaction is an issue with things like soil or bark, or an excessive amount of chitin.

P.s. I forgot to ask before.......... As I'm Commahs Godfather would you like him raised in any particular religion or should I just be a sort of all-round spiritual advisor? I'm fairly familiar with a few of the main texts, and though I don't belong to any organised religion I'm more Taoist than anything else

He is a Vield- 4-5 months old. My major worry is his choking more than dgestion issues/impaction. It is all pretty soft.

David to the rescue again! haha. Yeah- I just worry about Commah like hell! As his Godfather I am leaving it up to you to be more of a spiritual leader and advice giver. Lets let him choose the spirtual path he wants to follow.

Excellent, that's what I assumed but now I have a position of responsibility I wanted to make sure to respect your wishes
