Once every other month I hit my Latin or Korean market to mix up my food offerings and stock up on cheap cactus. Today I got pumpkin, aloe, 2lbs of cactus, watercress, guava, dandelion, escarole, okra, and sweet potato leaves. Buuuut I’m always seeing stuff I want to try and can’t find on tortoise table by the name used at the store. Jackfruit is from the mulberry family and high in fiber so I think safe? Anyone have any experience with them? The calcium to phosphorus ratio appears to be about 1:1 so not a main staple but a new snack maybe?
Lychees I think are not safe even without the seeds which have caused hypoglycemia in animal studies but do have awesome phytochemicals which are beneficial. Can’t I just remove the seeds?
Rambutan isn’t super high in calcium but has a ton of vitamins B and C as well as iron so I think it’s safe as his daily food portion? Again any experience on here?
