Može li Uromastyx jesti špinat?

Spinach is one of the few foods that should be avoided in a uromastyx’s diet. Uromastyx lizards can technically eat spinach, ali u velikim količinama to može biti štetno, pa je najbolje konzumaciju svesti na minimum ili je u potpunosti izbjegavati.

Unatoč tome što je nutritivno bogato tamno lisnato povrće, špinat ima izrazito visok sadržaj oksalata, koji se vežu za kalcij i onemogućuju njegovu pravilnu apsorpciju. Calcium deficiency can lead to a range of diseases, from tail rot to metabolic bone disease, potentially lethal to reptiles.

Jedna šalica sirovog špinata može sadržavati 700-800 miligrama oksalata, an amount too high for safe consumption by reptiles.

Stvari koje treba razmotriti

• 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, metabolička bolest kostiju, 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.
