I juice daily, and today thought about this and wanted to get some thoughts and opinions. The pulp that is left over from juicing fruits and veggies (obviously leaving out the fruits and talking about the greens here), even though it is "dehydrated" to a certain degree, what are your thoughts on giving some of that to a desert tort mixed in his/her greens salad/weeds/grasses/etc?

But when you use the item for juicing...doesn't that remove a substantial amount of nutrients into the liquid????

I've done that for years. Sheesh! Anything to add some bulk when you have a bunch of big sulcatas to feed!

I would throw a few handfuls into my 5 gallon bucket of grass and weeds, mix it all up really well, and put it out on the feeding trays. They ate it all up, just like everything else I put on their feeding trays.

Very interesting. I believe there are still some beneficial nutrients in there. Of course, I am as Tom pointed out, referring to adding it into greens/weeds/etc just so the at least some of the pulp doesnt go to waste. I would never even consider making that my torts staple food or anything like that.
