Ok I plan on feeding the bml diet but I have a question about the fruit part

it just says " berries", what kind? Does it not matter so i can mix it up everytime or is there a certain one/s I should use?

Thanks

My boys are on BML and they love their berries. I use blueberries, blackberries and raspberries. I have used strawberry but my boys usually wont eat any of them.

Make sure you follow the strict rules with BML and if you want to veer off then you need to do math to figure out the Calcium to Phosphorous Ratios (Ca:P) to make sure you keep it at 2:1

The information there as far as fruit is a bit wrong, at least according to Bourbon herself.

Fruits she has on her page as allowed include honeydew melon, watermelon, pitted cherries, apples, cantaloupe and blueberries. Blueberries are the only berry that are supposed to be fed with BML.

I have never seen anyone share Bourbon's website and I would love to!
