MAX ATE GREENS!!!!

[spazz]

Well the title pretty much says it all. They were dandelion greens. I am so happy! I put some in his bowl, on his rock and just on the carpet, he seems to prefer the ones on the carpet best. Good to know. Yay!

 

[Noella]

Yay! Way to go Max! What a Good Boy!

 

[BeardieBaby]

Yay!!! That's great news!!! Hopefully my beardie will start to eat his greens soon too!

And greens that are very healthy too! I wish I had somewhere that I could buy dandelion greens from for my herps

I have to pick them wild, so I try only to do a little at a time and mix them in with collards or turnips.

Well make sure to be careful when picking them wild. You have to be sure that the area hasn't been sprayed for pesticides or had something dumped on the area. Often times you will be able to find dandelion greens being sold at organic grocers like Whole Foods because they are actually really good for people too!

 

[spazz]

Yeah, I am very careful where I get them.

 

[Augie]

People in America eat greens??? You mean with bacon and plenty of salt, right?

 

[spazz]

Here in the south it's usually ham. Ham and salt.

I don't eat collards or turnip greens, but I would love to try them. Hey, if Allie can eat them, so can I! The next time, I'm out, I'll buy two packs of turnip greens and try them. Never know what they taste like until you've tried them!

Now Allie won't touch her greens! LOL...and you know what she did tonight? I bought her her favorite greens-turnip greens- and when I got them home, I noticed the stupid cashier stuffed them into the bag with my oranges. I got them out and they were all smashed up and wilted. They were good looking when I got them off the shelf. (I'm so angry with the cashier because now I have to bring them back for an exchange.) Poor Allie. She was so upset when she got the 'Mustard Greens' again. She looked so angry and black when I told her what happened to her turnip greens. Her beard puffed out and turned black. Then she started to look so pitiful, I went through the wilted greens and found some that were 'okay' and not wilted. I don't know if she's touched them or not. I hope she ate something. She hasn't really touched her mustard greens, but the crickets are eating them. (So she's getting the benefits from them too!)

 

[ianedward1]

That's one of the good things about collards, they are tough and take forever wilt (plus the huge amount of calcium). And yeah as long as the feeders eat them then she will end up eating them too haha.

 

[Noella]

LOL! She's shedding on her tail and isn't in the mood.
