[Blink]

Nice vid. Please stop feeding your cham tomatoes, though! They are poisonous to chams!

Tomatoes are dangerous to them?

Yeah. It's kind of weird but true. That's why you can't feed them hornworms that have eaten tomato plants.

You said melon... like all melons? or just a certain few... I want to get my veilds a bigger variety besides meal worms... without have to go out and get a lot.. Im gonna start getting crickets and breed them... but its nice to see that there is a variety of fruits they will also eat... I got 2 6 month old veilds and well one is a pig and the other only eats one to two meal worms. He is healthy. drinks enough and is more friendly than the other... only chooses to eat not as much...

 

[Andee]

Tomatoes aren't poisonous in themselves, a large amount may be but a small amount isn't. The plant itself, such as the leaves and stems are poisonous which is what hornworms eat.

Now i'm confused =\

I think what he is saying is that the fruit that is produced by the plant (the tomato) isn't poisonous unless is large quantities... Its the actual plant itself that is poisonous.

Make sense!
