Tarentola May 05, 2004 06:47 PM

My Adult Male Veiled will only eat leafy green plants,he won't eat these leafy purple veggies that come in this "Spring Mix" though my iguana will eat the "purple things"

Sorry don't know waht kind of plant it is?

Why won't he eat the "purple thing"?

Probably becuase he doesn't recognize the color or look of that type of food. While Veilds do eat vegetation occasionally, they're still carnivores "at heart". However, iguanas are not and eat those things. Iguanas have evolved to eat primarily fruits and veggies, which is why it's more inclined to eat the "purple things".

BTW, don't know what they are, but I do know what your talking about. They serve those with the lettuce wraps at The Elephant Bar restaurant. lol. good stuff.

and great cham.
