Good day! Here in the PH, we have a lot of Saluyot (Jute leaves, Jute Mallow, Nalta Jute). Aside from Hibiscus leaves, Moringa Leaves, a bit of water spinach, bits and pieces of timothy hay, and Reptile King Ultima pellets, jute leaves are a staple in my sulcata tortoise's diet. With all that, I've read everything about oxalates, and cannot find any new research about it, and how harmful greens with some oxalates can be.
In the Tortoise Table, it is said that younger leaves of jute have lower content of oxalates, but I don't really know if jute leaves are okay to be a staple food if my baby sulcata does not consume hay yet.
Would like to ask for help on this.
