    Okra and Kale

    How much okra and Kale is safe to feed? My Sulcata loves both. I pick up about 5 to 8 okra pieces for her a month usually. This month they had a great deal at the store on Okra - about 4lbs of it for $3 so I picked it up. I'm eating some as well, she won't be getting all 4lbs. Would it be...

    Slough grass

    Are these grasses safe to feed? Both can be found in abundance here and the cattle eat it. Dries into hay VERY well, and would be added to the winter mix of Timothy, orchard, and alfalfa hays.
