Uromastyx poate mânca spanac?

Spinach is one of the few foods that should be avoided in a uromastyx’s diet. Uromastyx lizards can technically eat spinach, dar în cantități mari acest lucru poate fi dăunător, deci cel mai bine este sa mentineti consumul la minim sau sa il evitati cu totul.

Uromastyx and Spinach
Uromastyx vs Spinach

În ciuda faptului că este o legumă cu frunze închise la culoare, bogată în nutrienți, Spanacul are un continut extrem de mare de oxalati, care se leagă de calciu și împiedică absorbția corectă a acestuia. Calcium deficiency can lead to a range of diseases, from tail rot to metabolic bone disease, potentially lethal to reptiles.

One cup of raw spinach can contain 700-800 milligrams of oxalates, an amount too high for safe consumption by reptiles.

Lucruri de luat în considerare

  • 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, boala metabolica a oaselor, 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.
