Leaves and flowers are acceptable AS LONG AS THEY DO NOT CONTAIN PESTICIDES ON OR IN THEM. My Hermann’s will eat the pink petals but not the leaves.
Rose petals, lavatera, and calendula are all acceptable (leaves and flowers are also acceptable; however, they may not eat rose or calendula leaves; you’ll have to see). Additionally, you can give campanula, dandelion, abutilon hibiscus, pansies, and hardy geraniums.
They are not high in protein, as far as I am aware (which is not very far). It is possible that if the flower was connected to a mature seed pod, there would be more protein in it, but this is just a guess on my part, and I’m sure someone with more knowledge will correct me if I’m wrong. However, I do not believe that these will be detrimental to your hatchlings.
While rose leaves and petals are acceptable as a treat, you must never feed the blooms from store-bought bouquets due to the possibility that the plants have been sprayed with insecticides.
