Daily Veggies

[Julie]

Ok so, Charlie is getting a right porky piggy of a dragon. eating sooo many crickets per day he could solely wipe out the cricket population of the uk. lol but i'm still a little confused/concerned (not sure best description) of his veggie intake.
Atm he's 6months old growing and shedding at rapid but steady rate. He DOES eat veggies.. I'm just not 100% sure if I'm over giving certain vitamins etc.. I've seen the lists on the stickied links etc. but they confuse me more..Vet says he's growing and doin well..
So each day he gets fresh spring (collard)greens, salad cress.. then a rotational mix of carrot/green peas (do i take outta pod, i have been) ermm brocolli, corn and butternut squash.. He'll have a small amount of apple/strawberry or peeled and chopped grapes/pear..
He loves the squash/greens and cress most. but i'm not sure how often to give him other stuff or if anything else i've missed.. I live in UK so there may be some stuff we cant get..
Thanks for any advice from here

Sounds like he is doing fine. Are you dusting with Calcium 5 days and vit 2 days a week? Other than that sounds like you have a happy healthy little guy

Hi there, personally l would remove brocolli and corn. I'd add things like endive, dandelion greens and flowers, celery leaves, carrot greens and turnip greens. Here is a like to a foodchart i use, it's colour coded and the easiest one l've found to read. I also top up with things like parsley, lavander, pansy leaves, rosemary, basil and nustertium flowers and leaves. Goodluck!!
