Do I just peel the fruit and give them the peel, or should I grate the pith off? How much is good to give them? I'd heard that too much citrus can give suggies the runs. Also kale, and collard greens...do I have to cook 'em first? Thanks in advance! Last edited by sandbat; 12/31/10 04:38 PM.

As for the Kale and collard greens - I cut the fresh leaves up into small pieces. Most of the time I buy frozen Chopped Collard Greens and just put it on the glider plates frozen. It thaws in just a few minutes. Candy Otte & the Glider Kids Sassy, Corky, Mehitabel & Missy Wacco, Yacco, & Dot Mindy, Kanobles, Elmo, & Chipper http://www.gliderkids-diet.com CandyOtte@aol.com

Cut into smaller block's circles whatever but big enough to place a mealie or treat inside then tie it closed with a fleece stripe or a heart/star link thing or anything glider safe. Place in cage and watch them tear it up to get to the center. Have a Good Day Brenda & Mr. Magoo Friendly Reminder please have an e-collar ready before you need it......

It looks like they suck the juice out and leave the rest.. So~~ if you are looking to feed it I would think grated finely and mixed with other food. As for cooking collared greens~ I never have whether using fresh or frozen I just give it that way~ (though fresh needs washed~) So I don't think there is a need to cook it~ ? mine just like it as is~ ~~Chrystal~~ My beautiful pair~ Zinger (aka:Evan) Karma (aka:Ivy) Thor 12/24/10 Twinkie 11/26/11
