hey, i was just wondering what kind of plants and flowers you guys feed to your uros. i know that they can have dandelions... but what are all the others?
also, do all these plants grow all year round? if they don't what should I use to replace them in their diet?.....

i was just thinking about this as I read the thread hibiscus flowers.... i would have posted this there but I didn't want to take over that thread.

Trader joes sells a bag of flowers that are for human consumption. Id check them out theres alot of flower in that bag.

oooo, they don't have trader joes in texas! (at least where I live)
i wish we did... i love trader joes!

hybiscus flower and leaf , dandalion flower and leaf, hollyhock flower and leaf and stem, rose petals (not shure on leaf) and orchids pedals (not shure on leaf). also they normally eat most flowers in the spring and summer. i still feed my regular staple but I add more flower and leaf and cut a bit of the staple away. of course pesticide free!!!!

Mother's Market, Whole Foods, Wild Oats and maybe your local store may carry them when they are in season.

wild oats is where I get my escarole, chirckory endive, dandalion leaf (in winter and fall) bok choy, butternut squash, Mango (great for water intake) and bee pollen. Its my one stop shop love them

hmmm, never heard of them.....
i bet the mango can be pretty sticky~

also, if I buy my veggies at like, walmart, would they be completely safe and pesticide free?
ofcourse I would rince them off.

veggies from any store deffinantly shouldnt have pesticide on them , I sure hope not cause ive been eating it for a long time.

its the hibiscus and the roses and hollyhock and dandalion you have to worry about pesticed.

Also if you feed anything like mando, squash or anything you have to cut, its better to shred it and add it too his food or hand feed it. just makes it eaiser to digest and as we all know a lizard that goes to the bathroom every day or two is a good thing.

yea right after I posted I noticed that it's kinda a stupid q.....
sorry just a little blond moment there~

good advise on the mango.... do you always add mango or squash to their salad?

also, how often do you feed him?
i've heard some mixed feedback on this and I just wanna get this straght...
