I am purchasing my first Uro next week. Yeh!! I am so excited. I have read a book by Vosjoli and have looked around on Kingsnake to get more info. I want to be ready for him when he gets here. But I was wondering is bok choy good for them. I know cabbage is a "NO NO", but is bok choy a "NO NO" too. It smells like cabbage

What about Squash or (zuchini) blossoms?

Thank you in advance!!

Hi and welcome to the forum! You have come to the right place to gather all you need to know about caring for your uro. Everyone in here is great about sharing what they know and thier experinces with thier uros! Bok Choy is good for your uro. I feed it to my uro a couple of times a week. If you need more info on what to feed your uro go to Deer Fern Farms web sight. It has alot of very helpful info on how to care, fed, and house a uro correctly! Any other questions you might have just type away and someone will know the answer or tell you where to go to get it! Happy herping!

good deal, they are hard to come by for adoption especially, what i would believe is a saharan uro, from when you said 'red uro'. They are a great pet and very rewarding i find!
Good luck!

Welcome-
Bok choy is great. Zuccini blossoms are great. Hope you have a good local produce department. Variety is the key.
Good luck. This is part of a list of viable foods-I'm sorry I forgot where I got this from..one of the many great Uro websites....
