You would have to ask me that.....now I have to work on my spelling. LOL

They eat Veggies.....yellow squash, spinach, collards greens, that Z veggie (lol never could spell that word) Just all kinds of veggies, just never lettuce it's not good for them. Also fruit, apples are their favorite, it's like candy to them.

They also get something called Monkey biscuits. It's a bird food, I belive, but if you put it in water it blows up and they just love them. They can't have it alot it has to much protein to be eating all the time, but it's a good treat.

Never feed them bugs as some people do.....they have to much protein, also and it makes them more aggressive. I get so mad when I go to the pet store and they tell people to by crickets for them, it's so wrong.

The pets stores are so wrong about a lot of things, the other day I heard them tell a lady that they don't have teeth. WRONG they have lots of teeth, so strong that they can crack a walnut shell with no problem. I had to take her aside and tell her the truth....I hate for her to think their mouths were safe, you can lose a finger like that. Even when we hold ours, we put on welding gloves......just in case they decide to bite. You never know with them.
