Today, I was talking with some members about the nutritional value in Grape and Mulberry leaves. I found these two websites that give the nutritional information for grape leaves and for mulberry leaves. My little Sulcata Mavis arrived with obvious calcium deficiency, so I'm always looking for calcium rich natural food sources.
Grape leaves: 50.8mg Calcium http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/3038/2
Mulberry leaves: 2700mg Calcium! http://www.laoswisssilk.com/en-us/pages/9/
So, now, I definitely get what the big deal is about Mulberry leaves and WANT SOME for my Mavis. Meanwhile, she'll continue enjoying grape leaves and other good sources of calcium
