Some leaves of a wandering jew fell in my Kleinmans enclosure, they ate them with no ill effects. I wonder about their nutritional components?? Ive tested some poisonous plants with my sulcatas and they avoid them. Just curious

...other not so indoors for kleinnis are bleu hibiscus, mallows, sea lavender...wandering jew are a fav for quite a few mediterranians

thanks, do you know anything on the nutritional content of wandering jew ie. calcium to phosphorous ratio....do they contain any oxalates etc..

...or have i got da time to go datahunting but here's some old ones for you to compares to...say purslanes?

if you're planning on feeding your's soley on them (which i doubt) ...or perhaps they're way overgrown and your torts overdozed them by acident...look at their tell TAIL sign ( da P***Ps) and go accordingly...either remove/thin them down or better stil; you could conduct your own "wander"Xperiment (assuming you got all that gears at your disposal microMeister!...

... these plants are a magnets for pill bugs/rollie pollies meaning party for boxies...if ya know some nice boxie lady...here's your chance esp. valentine's around da corner ( and you can ditch that roses, too (or keep them for yer torts...)
