Can I feed these succulents?

Should I moderate the amount?

They are just fine, he may not eat them though. I haven't heard anything bad about any of the succulents, just that they all don't taste good. If you can find some Sedum (Ice plant), mine seem to like those best. :)

I have a sedum in my yard.. It's dying now that the cold has set in, but there's still some green..

I fed him some geraniums this am and he seemed to like it somewhat... but certainly didn't gorge on it.. took a few petals and a bit of the green

they really seem to LOVE the mixed greens for the grocery store...

Not that bigmamma is a picky eater or anything. But I put some hens and chicks in my enclosure way before I got her. Skittles never touched them. But a few days after I put her in, they were almost gone. then she proceeded to dig out the roots and eat them. She also ate all of the aloe plant as well. He really never touched his torty weeds, still doesn't. Maybe because she is definately old enough to be wc she just mows through everything like a cow. She would eat out of my hands from day one. But it takes him so long to make up his mind if he wants or not that you have to hold her back, 10 minutes later he is still staring at the offering, trying to decide. In otherwords before I got her I used to have landscaping in my enclosure with edible plants. LOL now it looks desolate.

LOL That is how mine looks by summer. Spring everything has grown and beautiful, they wake up and within months everything is gone. Mine like holyhock and I believe it is daylilies (the one that is not toxic) they devour that puppy within days. Then it usually returns the next spring, but we shall see if it comes back this year.
