hi roadspawn you can find argula,watercress,cilantro in the herb section and collard,mustard,dandelion,turnips,swiss chard and ect all together in another section check though the greens and look for the bands or ties it will have the name of the greens on it. you may find it hard to find all of them some times depends on what the store carries or what they get in for greens.i mix the first 4 greens together for my ig salad i use swiss only on occasion when i cant find one of my main greens. and i very her vegs. and fruit 1x a week.as far as arugula i havent be able to get it much this time of yr so that maybe your problem to. and remember to stay away of things that are high on binding calcium like kale,corn ok and as far as the strange looks they must not have a hungry lizard at home lol iggirl1

Thanks for the replies.
After looking around my neighborhood, Albertson's had everything I needed. Here is my diet for this week:

Collard Greens/Arugula

Water Cress/Mustard Greens/Turnip Greens

Winter Squash

I'll give him some strawberries on Saturday.

Last week recipe: Dandelion green, grated parsnips, grated butternut squash, green beans, rabbit pellets (alfalfa).

This week recipe: Mustard green, grated pasnips, grated butternut squash, green beans, rabbit pellets

I also use escarole and collard, but I tend to rotate so he gets different greens each week. Everyother week I would include greens like chards, endive, kale (not too often because it high in goitrogen), brussel sprouts (very high in goitrogen, also), and arugula, but I make sure these greens makes no more than 1/3 of the total diet. I use pasnips, butternut, green beans and alfalfa as the main staple and rotate the green each week for variety.
