oxylates

Posted by blob on April 17, 2001 at 15:20:14:

Ok, I know oxylates are proven problems for herbivores that ingest massive quantities of plants containing these compounds... but I was interested if ANYONE has actual factual data on oxylates being a problem in iguanas and other smaller herbivorous reptiles (or mammals, even). I agree that iguana diets shouldn't be loaded with Kale and spinach, but I wonder how much of a danger those foods really pose. Any thoughts?
