Spinach

[gregcalverley0327]

I have some leftover spinach and was curious if I could give it to my sulcatas. Couldn't find much on it

Spinach can be fed occasionally but it contains calcium oxalates which inhibits the absorption of calcium. If you have some and dont feed it alot then it should be fine to feed it, but not often.

Agreed.. it has a lot of oxilates is not good for them...

Interesting. Neither of my torts like spinach much, maybe they can sense this by taste?

Interesting, my tortoise sheldon eats everything i put in front of him. i swear, if the plate was green he would eat it too!! i feed him spring mix and try to pick out as much spinach leaves as i can. if i take him outside for a walk it consists of stopping every few inches to eat another weed or grass. not much of a walker i guess
