Definitely go easy on the fruit, in fact, none is okay to feed also. You should not be feeding anything from a florist, as those plants (and even from a garden center or nursery) are sprayed and treated with chemicals...you can get organic hibiscus on the Internet...also untreated roses from edible flower links in a search engine. The link below is for a reptile supply place that ships. You can get Rep-Cal and Herptivite from there...those are the calcium and vitamin supplements you should be using..those are at least two recommended ones I should say. Reptile calcium powder and reptile vitamins can be gotten from most pet shops...go there if your vet is clueless (which worries me, if that's the case!). Feel free to e-mail me back if you have any questions...I'm in Long Island, NY...not too far from you so I may be able to give you some pointers if you are interested. Good luck! - Marissa
