Hi Kirsty for my leopard over winter I use Florette Cassic Crispy salad which was recommended to me by another member last year - it has frisee radicchio and lambs lettuce with no additives etc. I also use Friendly 'Readigrass' which some pet stores stock. I blend it to almost a powder and coat the wet salad mix with the grass then spray again to hydrate it; it adds fibre to the salad. Also use spring greens, organic romaine from Tesco and kale, some watercress, carrot/beetroot leaves. Just mix and match what I can get but always add the Readigrass. Lola doesn't seem any the worse for it although I hope my weed growing is more successful this year.
Aww that's fantastic - I'm going to save this down somewhere so I can use it for when winter arrives. Lyn I really appreciate this - when I first got beastie the old owner used to feed him frozen mixed veg from farmfoods every day and give him cat food once a week, horrible I know. But it took me sooo long to get him to start eating stuff that was good for him and I was nervous that I would need to resort to giving him loads of cabbage and tomatoes over the winter lol
Thanks v much!

Bless you, John.
But a lot of my Q&A's are nicked from QI; as you know, though i do know about half of it (75% now), I know a lot of stuff.
I was blessed with a good memory, an inquiring mind and the ability to read and absorb things really quickly.
Gosh, my modesty is overwhelming, isn't it?
Oh, well, this is my personal promotion thread, I suppose. :rolleyes:
I'm pretty good a maths, I also have a really good memory but I'm not much of a visual person I need to do things or listen to learn properly. I sometimes need to do things 3-4 times before the 'ping' moment happens in my head

You're welcome I am always looking for ways to Improve his diet. I use the care sheet list of foods as a guide - and the tortoise table. The readigrass comes in a big bag and will last for ages. If you google it, the website lists stockists so you may find one in your area, but think Amazon sell it too. It looks like grass - still green - but Lola won't eat it as it comes. I did use a bottle top to make my own readigrass pellet last week with water, pressed it in to form it, and he did eat that.

The ping moment in my house usually happens in the kitchen - where the microwave is.

My Tidgy used to be fed on meat, meat fat, tomato and given milk to drink.
They just didn't know any better, or care.

i might buy some now and start introducing it in to his weeds. That way it won't be so much of a change when winter comes. At the beginning/ end of winter I usually need to go to tesco and buy things and I usually go for artichokes and lambs lettuce but that won't be enough for all of it lol
Thanks for your help - I really do appreciate it :)
