Celery is somewhat high in oxalates, and its calcium to phosphorus ratio is 1.6:1, but the calcium content is not particurarly high compared to dark leafy greens and other vegetables that should be fed more often.

Feeding too much celery may also lead to diarrhea and disrupt the uromastyx’s digestive system.

Im Idealfall, celery, Gurken, and lettuce with high water content and low nutritional value should not make up a significant portion of a uromastyx’s diet.
