    Default Every-day fresh foods?

    What is safe for every day consumption?
    I give him two blocks and usually kale every day. I learned apple gave him diarrhea when consumed every day, so I give him a blackberry or a small slice of banana every other day.
    So what's safe for every day and wound cause any GI upset?

    Also, do your guys get food aggressive with really good treats? Whenever Koba gets something he really likes, he growls if i reach out to touch him and with smack my hand away. Is this normal?

    Try to avoid too much fruit and be sure that he gets rodent block as the bulk of his diet. Other fresh foods are listed on that link Farrelli posted. On an every day basis, I give an assortment of: broccoli, mixed greens (I buy the bag of mixed greens in the produce department), yellow squash, zucchini, brussel sprouts, cabbage, radiccio, avocado (not too much due to a lot of fat), sugar snap peas, green beans and more.

    I saw the thread, but it doesn't talk about which ones should be limited to every other day or ones that are okay for every day.

    You can freely feed all veggie from Groups 1 and 2 and give a small amount from Group 3 sparingly. As long as he is eating the ones from Group 1 and 2 it is okay to give a bit of Group 3 daily. Just remember that BLOCK is to come first and foremost.
