Kan Uromastyx spinasie eet?

Spinach is one of the few foods that should be avoided in a uromastyx’s diet. Uromastyx lizards can technically eat spinach, maar in groot hoeveelhede kan dit skadelik wees, dit is dus die beste om verbruik tot die minimum te beperk of dit heeltemal te vermy.

Ten spyte daarvan dat dit 'n voedingsryke donker blaargroente is, spinasie het 'n uiters hoë inhoud van oksalate, wat aan kalsium bind en die behoorlike absorpsie daarvan verhoed. Calcium deficiency can lead to a range of diseases, from tail rot to metabolic bone disease, potentially lethal to reptiles.

Een koppie rou spinasie kan bevat 700-800 milligram oksalate, an amount too high for safe consumption by reptiles.

Things to consider

• Spinach contains huge amounts of oxalates, a compound that can impede calcium absorption. Regular consumption of spinach can lead your uromastyx lizard to experience calcium deficiency or, at worst, metaboliese beensiekte, potentially lethal to reptiles.
• A better alternative? Kale should be the ideal dark leafy food for uramastyx lizards. One cup of raw kale contains less than 20 mg of oxalates, so it can be fed much more regularly than spinach without problems.
