Does anyone know what the oxalate value is to this Cactus Fruit
I know the cal to phos ratio is 57.6/24.7,
but if the value is high,then the cal content doesn't have as good a quality as it looks.
The higher the Ox value,the more the calcium is binding.

Josephine - stop stressing yourself out over ratios and oxalates.

Just feed your gliders a wide variety of fruits and vegetables and include high calcium foods when you can.

As long as the staple you are feeding has adequate calcium, you do not need to worry.

Candy,believe it or not, but I'm actually not stressing over it anymore
I just didn't have it in all of my foods notes.
I'm going to be making meals of:
1 pomegranate, 1 orange,1/2 grapefruit,1/2 pineapple,3 prickly pears,1 asian pear,1/2 pkg frozen mango chunks,2 kiwi,1 container of honey flavored yogurt, & 8 oz of natural applesauce.
I may add more stuff to it,but rite now this is what I'm thinkin'. I will make it into a relish consistency,& then put them into ice cube trays. I may even wait until tomorrow to make it,too.
