Hi there!!
I was following along with the diet controversy...I read the iguana den diet, but I sure didn't realize it was so slanted, till I read the "Setting the record straight" article! I have been picking & choosing from the chart that kevin egan has at his sight, and I was just wondering if my ig diet passes the test...anyone wanna comment? I'd appreciate it...
I feed Cleo about 70% greens, we use collards, turnip, mustard and occasionally dandelion...more as they spring up, I'm sure!! I have gotten some seeds for these greens, and as soon as I can, I'm gonna start growing some of my own.
For veggies we use butternut squash, yellow squash, parsnip & green beans. I have found that the frozen french cut ones are about Cleo's favorite part of her salad...she never would touch fresh ones.
I don't use fruit much, Cleo doesn't like oranges...and all the others I tried, she left on her plate. Is fruit optional?
Once a week I add calcium, a multi vitamin, and I add some brewer's yeast on the frozen beans.
SOOOOOO how'm I doin? (Just wanna be sure...:o)
Also...this is totally off topic, and I apologize, but I'm a little deperate...I mentioned my guinea pig losing her babies...well now I may be losing the momma, and one of her babies is alive, and after so much stinkin' death, I sure would like to save it...would any of you guys know of a good web site with G. P. info? I have heard some of you mention having guinea pigs, so I thought I'd ask. I know that there's probably not anything near as helpful as this place for my little baby. My 5 year old named her "Babe"- kinda appropriate, since Babe didn't have a momma either. (sorry to be such a bummer!)
But, the vet wanted to try to treat the momma last night...one last ditch attempt...I'll let you know how it goes.
Anyway, thanks for your help... no poop stories today,
What can I say...The fish tank is covered, the potty is still working for us...I suppose no news is good news as far as the "P" word is concerned!
I'll be back!!
Lorry, Cleopatra (Queen of The Sunroom)
And Babe, the five day old guinea pig.
PS: what does IMHO stand for?? I've been trying to figure it out...but I'm still wondering....:o)
