Chia and Flax Sprouts

Status
Not open for further replies.
I've been trying to find information on whether or not chia and/or flax sprouts are something decent to feed to beardies. I'm trying to sprout some right now, and it would be awesome to have something that fresh to be able to give mine (assuming he'd eat them :roll: ), especially since our one grocery store sometimes doesn't have any decent greens. Anyone know if they're okay and how often they could be fed?

I believe Flax & Chia sprouts are high in phosphorus and should be treated like brussel sprouts. Only on rare occasions and with supplemental calcium dusted on their insects.

Not sure about the flax, but chia is also pretty high in fat content. And they are very high in phosphorus.

I'd agree with Aboo, Occasionally used only imo.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
