Amaranth for RT?

[Nephelle]

The title pretty much says it all!

My mom lives in CA and grows in true hippie organic fashion. I asked her if she might be able to send me a selection different items to try out with my baby RT, and she agreed...and is now really pushing the Amaranth haha. Apparently she has a lot!

I've found different mentions of it through googling, but does anyone know if this would be a good choice for my RT?

Thank you, Angela!

Of course, after all that, my mom didn't send any LOL. But she's already planning her next tortoise food box so I'm sure it'll show eventually And you're right....chances are she won't touch it! I am trying to mince up new foods and mix everything up together, but she's better than my dog taking pills when it comes to spitting out what she doesn't want haha.

Thank you for the reply
