Raw Potato

[Rachella]

Here's a question. I tried consulting the Beautiful Dragons Nutrional Chart, but couldn't see anything for -raw- potatoes.

I have some average, grocery-variety brown potatoes and was wondering if it's safe to try and give a small piece to Dude? This would in no way be a staple, but rather just a quick experimental snack to see if he likes them.

I don't want to give them though if they might be harmful.

Does anyone have any advice?

I would say if at all it would have to be occasional! I dont think they can break it down in the tummy! Good luck.

By grocery variety brown potatoes I think you mean Russet potatoes? They are on the chart listed in blue for "feed rarely". I eat lots of potatoes so I tried giving my guy some cooked but he wouldn't touch it.

I would say go for it, just not too much and don't be surprised if he rejects it.

The potato they have on the chart is listed as cooked, I was wondering about the raw ones...

I don't think I'm going to try it, though. Better safe than sorry.

Thanks for the responses!

No not raw! That is not a good idea. Like you said better safe then sorry. :wink:
