After getting very good information from folks here about lighting and hibernation, I would like to start a new request for help: diet.
When we got Journey at the pet store back in October, his info sheet had some really odd items: tomatos, fruits, vegetables rich in colors like yellows and reds... I was skeptical, and did a lot of research to the point of being pretty nervous of what to feed him. I think the best advice was "would he eat a tomato in the desert?" Point taken.
His current diet is simple, and therefore probably very lacking: a mix of collard greens, red lettuce, and green lettuce. We use the calcium dust 2 or 3 times a week. We feed about 1 cup of greens eveyr morning. And, like clockwork, almost every morning he's waiting by his food dish to be fed. (Pretty cute, actually).
Is Journey's diet too simple? Just right? Wrong completely? Please suggest any changes. And if we're doing anything wrong, please explain why.
Thank you!
