Spinach

Caution Vegetables

Spinach is not poisonous to herbivorous reptiles, but it is high in oxalates that bind calcium. Fed too often it can contribute to metabolic bone disease, so offer it only occasionally.

Clinical Note: High oxalate and goitrogen content; frequent feeding impairs calcium absorption and risks metabolic bone disease.
