Does anyone know if mulberries are acceptable? They are rampant here now, and I have not seen them on any food charts.

Okay, I found several website that said the leaves are good, bout only 1 that said the fruit was ok. This site also recommended feeding your juvenile ig eggs and dog/cat food.
Any more input?

Mulberries are ok. I feed them to my girls off the tree in my back yard. Just bear in mind that fruit is supposed to be a minimal part of the diet. ;D

I feed the mulberries to my iguana as well as my bearded dragon and blue tongued skink. The are a welcome treat but they should not make up a sizable part of the diet. And be VERY sure that they haven't been sprayed with anything.

Odds are against you / us in finding Ca/Phos. ratios for leaves and random greens that we want.
I have never mixed the leaves into Bob's salad but I have watched him munch on some while climbing a small M-bush.
Look around and there will be smaller wild bushes growing, these are great things to climb in. Once when letting Bob climb in one he started up the main branch and got to a point that any further "up" the branch he went the further it drooped, he got to the point where he mor or less stepped from the branch onto the ground.
In my quick search I found one site that listed it in the daily greens salad, (reptileParadise.com).

I have seen where it was ok to feed them and others say you can't. I feed a few here and there as a treat and have had no problems. As far as the C/P ratio I have no idea.

Ditto what Merlin said. I have fed both leaves and fruit occasionally with no problem. I can't find any nutritional info for either
