Thank you!

Offering fruit and vegetables
- Thread starter Chameleon crazy
- Start date
I have given my veileds greens (dandelions, kale, collards, endive, escarole, etc.) and veggies (carrots, sweet red peppers, sweet potato, squash, zucchini, etc.) and a little fruit (apple, pear, melon, berries, etc.) Slice the hard veggies (like carrots, squash and sweet potatoes) into thin short pieces so they can bite them. Things like apples can be cut into thin wedges and impaled on a branch. If you put the food in a dish in the cage where the crickets can get at it, they will remain somewhat gutloaded until they are eaten.

Kinyonga's list is (of course 
) great. In addition, here is a Nutritional Chart that is geared for Bearded Dragon's but is a terrific reference. Veronica from Beautiful Dragons went to the trouble to color code, list Ca
ratio, comment on Vit C, oxalates and other pros/cons of particular foods and more. The list is very extensive. I copy and pasted the the two top food types and have used it as a guide not only for my beardie, but as a gutload and for offering food to Luna, my (now deceased 
) veiled. I think you will find it helpful.

Hey! glad you remembered me! Have you been here a while or just join? I don't get to visit as often in the summer months as I am busy with 6 legged winged creatures I think you'll really like this forum - nice bunch of people, varied experience, moderated so no (minimal) flaming or out of control rants, neat monthly contest and more!
Hope you stick around. Let us know when you post photos. As I recall, you said you have several chams. I guess I could check your profile and find all this out! lol!!
I'll stop in and say hi next time I am over your way.
