Mushrooms?

[PythonChick]

Hey all:

Are mushrooms OK for sulcattas? Ya'know, the ones you get in the supermarket, not wild ones in my backyard.

Thanks!

They are primarily grazing animals and feed on a variety of grasses and weeds in the wild. There are many sites on the web that offer good dietary advice for sulcata and if you would like some assistance finding some let me know and I will help you. There is a great post in this forum concerning sulcata diet under &quot;feeding suggestions' The only thing I would caution with is feeding mustard greens because they contain a property called oxalates. What this means is that this property binds with calcium rendering any calsium update basically useless to the animal. In small amounts provided a good diet is feed otherwise it should not pose a significant problem</BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></TD></TR><TR><TD><HR></TD></TR></TABLE>
