No...actually...I think "my bad". You won't find pellet form because there isn't one. I was reading bean sprout, but thinking alfalfa sprout. Go figure. Still...here's the website that gives you the info...:-) www.anapsid.org/sprouts.html thanks for the link i read it,so mature alfalfa is better and spouted alfalfa is a no no. but where does that leave bean sprout? i will leave it out of his bowl to day,but I'm guessing its OK in small amounts

Those definitely look like collard greens to me, too. Have you seen anything with one of these names?
Rapini, Turnip; Seven-top turnip, Seventop Turnip, Birdrape, Canola, Mustard Spinach, Rape, Rape Mustard.
These are all names for turnip greens.

The trick is then to chop/cut everything small enough that when it gets mixed together he has no choice but to eat the other stuff, too. Grab a bite of greens...grab some squash, too...;D.

I only remove the center stem and feed it to the guinea pigs. The rest of the smaller veins I leave in. If any look to big for a smaller ig though...you may want to chop those up extra small.

Bandit...it depends which kind of cabbage you mean. Regular head cabbages are very different in the way they grow, but Bok Choy is KIND OF similar. Here's some pictures to see what kinds of foods you may be looking at...and looking for...:-) www.greenigsociety.org/foodchart.htm
