They must be doing OK inspite of you. LOL as for the squash I serve it raw and grated or cooked and cooled of and mashed either way. Have you found spaghetti squash yet? There is also acorn squash. Just teasing. Congrats on a good job.

Well, if it's the same thing as bok choy (I'm guessing it's the same) it's fine. Maybe not great as a staple, still need those greens, but it's wonderful to add for variety now and then, my beardies love it!

Lol.. it's Bok Choy .. it's basically a chinese cabbage with about the same nutritional content. Good as a treat, but stick with the greens as a staple. Good to hear you've found squash, I just skin and chop mine up a bit (or shred) raw, cooking pulls too many nutrients out IMO. Now that the great WalMart has bought out another chain of stores (lol) you may be able to start finding some of the rarer stuff like prickley pear pads. Check out beautifuldragons.com and make a shopping list to watch for. Laters
