Acorns

Hi Guys

 

Would you feed your Grey Acorns that you picked from the tree (not from the floor) and if so green or brown.

No green. Only brown and you must shell and boil them to remove the Tannins. Otherwise it could potentially poison your grey. You also need to make certain there are no small holes indicating worms have entered etc. Once you have boiled them a couple of times and discarded the water, you can roast them if you wish.

Glad I checked first! She already has several high quality nuts every other day so I think I'll leave them out, not worth the risk.

Or the trouble from the sound of it!
