Blending his salad

[Matthew85]

My little guy loves turnip greens and the little bit of pears I give him sometimes.
But he wont eatmuch els he will just push the carrots aside and eat the turnip greensonly.

So I was thinking what if I blend them into a semi thick paste for him to munch on?
Add a little green pepper, turnip greens, shaved carrot, and pear or cantaloupe.
Is this a good idea?

If this is a good idea what kind of veggie combos would be best for a juvenile?
Im not to sure how old he is but he is about 3 1/2 to 4 inch long.

Blend some kale and bokchoy with turnip greens.You can make heaps of the stuff,all different combos then you can freeze what you don't neeed and leave it till later.

I wouldn't blend it, why not just feed the greens he likes? Will he eat other greens besides turnips? Carrots aren't that good for dragons, too much Vit A, should only be feed once a week at most. Fruit is also to be feed 1-2 times a week.

Never feed frozen greens/veggies, freezing removes Vit B which can cause a lot of health issues. Feed fresh greens only.

Wow cool that list was alot of help.
Looks like I wont be blending his food no biggy.
But as I was looking at the list of squash I found that they never said if they can eat yellow squash or not.
I work at a super center wal mart that right now sells only yellow squash would it be ok for him to eat it?

Squash is squash, doesn't matter what variety it is.

What if you can't find any organic greens that are okay for them to eat? Won't the pesticides on the regular greens be worse than frozen? I want to switch from frozen to fresh so let me know!
