Nope. Not a good diet. You want to feed the little guy dark leafy greens. This can be in the form of grocery greens or weeds. Romaine, endive, collard greens, green leaf lettuce are a good start. Then as the temperatures get warmer add grasses (which should be the majority. You really should stay away from any kind of seeds (peas and green beans.) These would not be too bad if you throw away the actual seeds and feed just the husks. The main thing you are trying to do is provide variety. Another option is the packaged greens or salad mixes. Again, go for the dark leafy greens. (no spinach)
