Need clarifications
« on: June 17, 2009, 11:15:42 AM »
Okay, so I've been looking at the edivle foods list & quite frankly I need things explained to me like I'm a 5 year old.

1. Are all rose petals edible?
2. I see that parsley is edible, does that include the curly leaf parsley found at the grocery store?
3. My RT's are kept outside and sometimes leaves from my surrounding trees fall in the enclosure. I'm not certain of the all the tree "species" but I do know that one is an Elm tree. My little guys have been eating the leaves should I be cautious of this?

Thanks!

Yes

Yes, but I don't know how nutritional it is

Mine all live outdoors & I've never had a problem from them eating the leaves that fall from the various trees.


Some of the foods are more nutritious than others.
The collard greens, turnip greens, dandelions, & many of the others are very healthful.
