OK, let me try this, don't mean to be crazy and worrysome, just getting more ideas.
How old are some of your IG's and what are some of the things you will never feed?
Maybe there is an IG out there 15-20 years old, love to know what they were fed most
of their life? Just went veggie shopping for new salad of the week. Hope this is healthy?
Mixed up: Green Beans, asparagus, butternut squash! Added a small amount of strawberries,
mushroom, and crushed up zoomed IG food, and put some collard and mustard greens in
there. Diced and mixed in airtight container, I did add a little water, not much!
Put my leafy greens in a seperate bag! Will spoon out in the morning, and break up a
pile of mustard/turnip/collard greens on part of the plate with the salad!
When I do this, he seems to eat some salad and leafy greens, but never eats all, I always
put too much. Hope this is healthy! I do supplement with Reptocal every other day and Vitolife
once a week! He basks under is 7% ESU UVB light and heat light! He is a juvenille, but seems
to be healthy, just want to make sure I feed right so he will live a long time!
He's in a major shed right now, sure do hate that skin hanging around, but I know not to pull it off?
I mist him and give him a bath daily! I probably worry to much, but how does all this sound?
Any suggestions/praise/ or improvement is welcomed. Thanks for all your help and time!

IG27 and Ziggi!!!
