I can never understand why all the "experts" on this forum never promote the nutritional benefits of "seed" or "solid" foods. Most of you concentrate on "greens" & in such a way that they can never find in their natural environments. They simply do not come out of their burrows every day to a plate full of wet vegetables. Include items such as barley, bulghar wheat, wheat groats, oat groats, lentil seeds, mung beans (they love 'em!!), crushed corn, etc, etc. They live in very arid environs Don't try to make them tropical.
