All,
I know all the books and guides say that Russians should be fed a primary diet of broad leaf weeds for purposes of fiber, etc, and that store bought produce (lettuces mixes, broccoli, carrots) should only make up about 20% of their diet.
The problem is, I live in the Santa Cruz mountains near San Jose, and all the weeds around us are thorny. My yard is covered in blackberry and other brush, all which contain thorns, even on the leaves themselves. I've offered these to my Russians, but they just won't go for it.
Any ideas on what I can safely feed them during periods when I can't find weeds?
