Anyone have a good links to fruits and veggies oxalate contents? Seems there are a couple very incomplete lists out there and lots of human level lists.


Also, alot of the recommended fruits and veggies we already feed in various diets seem to be on the higher end as far as oxalates go on the human lists... So what would be considered high for suggies?

I have this link that lists the fruits and vegetables that have oxalates. When I was really involved with reptiles I had a list of oxalate content on my computer, but have no idea where it is. I will look and see if I can find it for you.

Thanks!

Oh good grief, I didn't even give you the link

Still looking for the list...my old computer is not very fond of me.

lol thats okay. I figured if/when you found the list you would post the link!

Heres a really cool site I found to see the ratios of just about everything you can think of!!!

I have it on the page you are looking for though...

Oxalic Acid Chart

What would be considered too high, or on the higher end for suggies?

Honestly, I don't think you need to worry about oxalates with sugar gliders. In the wild, eucalyptus is a main part of their diet and it's high in oxalates. I doubt it would sustain then if the couldn't get calcium from it.

God makes each animal just right so it can thrive and survive off of whatever is in it's native environment. Look at pandas! ROFL!

This is a list I have on my computer from 2003 (I assume the #'s are all still the same! )
Sorry it didn't come out prettier!

Gretchen, the ones without a number are without oxalates? Like cranberry juice at the end?

And thank you Peggy for the oxalate page, that one is real good for veggies!

No the ones without numbers are the same as the number above (it goes in decending order). Sorry, I should have thought to add them.

Also, if you want a nicer copy, I can e-mail it to you, just doesn't come out on the board.

Sure that would be great!

Done
