Thank you so much for the link to that post! I have a ton of info now and am excited to get started!

What have you found grows the best indoors? I do have a large front window but don't have a very large space for growing things. I did find a portable greenhouse on wheels that is about 24in by 24in and 5ft tall, with shelves in it, does that sound like a decent amount of space? Where do you...

Thanks so much for all of the info and tips! I will have to do a search of the grocery stores in my area to see what I can find. Does mazuri last long? The smallest I can find is 25 pounds and it would take my little one forever to eat that?!

What do people feed when there is no option to get things from outside? I have used spring mix with no spinach for the last little bit but I am sure there is more I can add than that just not sure. I am adding a picture of some pellets I tried but they were a no go no matter how I soaked it or...

Thanks that have me alot more info. Though I do not know which grocery store greens thread you refer to?

Thanks for the replies. I am feeding mazuri, dandelions, grass and weeds from the yard. And have ordered some cactus, though it seems that is a feed sparingly item

I keep a cuttlebone in my baby's enclosure and she chews on it alot, since she does chew on it do I need to supply another source of calcium or is that ok by itself?

I have another newbie question. I realize how very obvious pyramiding looks but what about the less obvious or just beginning? I have seen a couple of posts where people have commented on pictures with "starting to pyramid already" and I can't see what they are looking at, I have attached a...

Here is my enclosure right after misting. And tiggy in the hide with wet moss
