Just a few articles on the topic since at times it is still claimed that kale is high in oxalates which interfere with calcium absorption but kale is actually low in oxalates and highly nutritious. https://news.medill.northwestern.edu/chicago/kale-sheds-bum-rap-on-kidney-stones/...
I do a mix of kale and collard greens like a little of both. I also add squash like 2 days a week, apples or strawberries once a week or not at all. I read about it and it says that it’s okay but I am not sure now.

I read about it and it says that it’s okay but I am not sure now. Please tell me if that is okay? Or if I should just do greens and his vitamins no fruit or squash every week? Sorry for the questions I am just confused because I thought this was okay.

This really is normal. My guy is a little over a year old and gets salads everyday, bugs Monday/Wednesday/Friday and soaked pellets as a treat once a week. Monday this week he ate about 5-6 roaches, Wednesday he ate about 20-25, and today he ate about 4-5. Kale is lower than collard greens in oxalates that bind with the calcium, so it's a great staple green don't worry about that. There was some information years back that they were high in oxalates but that isnt actually the case. Variety is good, so mixing in some collards or mustard greens or even romaine or escarole lettuce, just no iceberg as it's mostly water and not much else in the way of nutrition.

thank you so much! I am actually a huge fan of your tiktok and you inspired me to start using topsoil/plays and as a substrate! I was a little worried about the kale thing but you and some others have said it was okay +sent articles so my worries are gone now!

HES SO CUTE! He is 2 inches bigger than willow, I know willow was born in august but I am not sure what day so I just go by august 7th, since it’s my birthday too. The last two pictures where he looks tiny are when I first got him (I don’t use reptile carpet anymore) and the first two are from like two months ago I just don’t take many pics
