Default Re: Best food?

Oxbow is a good food but the protein is low so you would need to supplement with things like a tiny bit of plain chicken once or twice a week, a meal worm or two daily & there's also some protein in any extra seeds you might give her too.
With veg stick mostly to greens, things like broccoli, cabbage (only very small amounts), kale, pak choi, romaine lettuce (again only very small amounts), celery, cucumber.
Things like bell peppers, mange toute or sugar snap peas or baby corn (not the large corn but the tiny little ones which are lower in sugar) are ok as occasional treats for diabetes prone species, I would avoid most of the sweeter veg like carrot, squash or pumpkin, potato & sweet potato & avoid fruit for the most part, mine do very occasionally get maybe half a blueberry or a tiny tiny piece of apple (no skin or pips) but that's it.
There are other safe veg but that's about all I can think of just now!
