cat grass

It would be a waste of money. RFs don't eat grass often, a better bet would be to purchase chia or organic pansy seed.

That cat grass is actually Organic Wheat Grass. The stores also sell catnip. Can RF eat catnip?

They can. Catnip is a mint and as such my Rf's tend to ignore it and nibble at best.

thanks for that answer Larry. I didn't know it was a mint. Yeah most torts seem to ignore fragrant herbs at least mine do.

I'm glad I saw this post, I just bought on line a wheat grass kit. I plan to grow it in the small trays that comes with the kit and use it in my RT's house for them to graze on.

You can go to http://wheatgrasskits.com they sell the kits to health nuts who like to juice it like spirulina for their drinks.

You get everything you need to grow the wheat grass. 5 trays, organic wheat grass seed, the composted soil. The price was $16.95 for the kit, the shipping was the killer though that ran $16.08 by UPS ground delivery.

I want to try the cuttings to also feed my bearded dragons.
