Spinach and Okra Question

[ShereeJacobi]

I know that spinach has oxalates? in it but so do most dark green leafy veggies. So what is an appropriate amount a squirrel can eat? Next question is about Okra. On the squirrel nutrition it states to avoid okra. I can't figure that one out. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with okra for squirrels?
Thanks,mjs
