Thanks for the help! :) I don't have that site yet but I'll print and bookmark it now! :) hehehehe :) I really appreciate you Patience. only hope I can become as good a Ig Slave as You are. :) Today's the Big Day! Leave in about half an hour to go 2 and a half hours to get him! Got My gaint pillow case and directions. Think I'm all set. Always open to suggestions though! :)Thanks again Bon. I really appreciate it.

: do you have this link yet??
: Jen Swofford's Basking Spot
: she's got super diet info on her site ~ i pretty much printed out the tables and made shopping lists from them when i 1st became iZ's mom ~ it *IS* hard to remember it all in the beginning!!!
: (+ now it's kinda scary how much i know about various foods + digestive stuff! hubby quizes me in the grocery store ... LOL)

: sunflower seeds? no ... keep in mind that while igs DO have teeth (lot + lots of *sharp* ones!) they do *not* chew ... i'm not sure the sunflower seeds would digest ... hmmmmmm ... kinda like corn ... goes straight thru ... :P
: but my main reason for saying "no" is that seeds/nuts have a high fat content and igs aren't "built" to digest foods that are high in fat ...

: tomatos? hmmmmm ... i don't see it on "the bad list" ... they're rather acidic tho + so have the potential to be irritating to the ig's mouth (same as citrus fruits) ...

: + now after all this talking about healthy food, i have an intense craving for something CHOCOLATE .... heh heh heh

: good luck! (i'm excited right along with you!!!)
: Bon.

: ps. don't feel the need to apologize for asking bunches o' questions!!! 99% of us did the exact same thing ~ *me* especially i think ... :)
