Macadamia nuts are okay to give my QP, right?

I feed them to my big guys...so I would think they would be safe for QPs as well

I was going to make a comment about the title of this thread but have decided against it .

Well, now I wonder what that comment would have been

I was thinking the same thing I think Stella...ROFL...

As far as macadamia nuts are concerned, they are fine, however remember that they are one of the nuts highest in fat content, and since quakers as we all know are prone to fatty liver disease; I would only give them as a rare treat not a mainstay and obviously unsalted etc.

sorry, I had to laugh at this My quaker doesn't get many nuts as he really doesn't care for them, so can't help you out on this.....

LOL! Yes we need to hear the comment!

Thanks for the info on the fat in nuts. I'll try to limit his consumption but he loves nuts. I can get a bag of any kind of nuts, unsalted at Wal Mart in the cooking isle for around a dollar. I also bought him a bag of pecans.

My understanding is that pecans are THE #1 when it comes to high fat content.I even limit those in my macaws diet........

I think you might be thinking of Cashews... hang on, I will go and check...

*goes to find an internet page*

OK, and yes, I realize I didn't have to type that I was consulting another source but oh well... here is the order of nuts by fat content, starting with the highest, based on what I found...

Macadamia Nuts
Brazil Nuts
English/Persian Walnuts
Pecans
Hazelnuts
Spanish Peanuts
Peanuts
Almonds
Pistachios
Cashews (Boy was I wrong on that one!)
Chestnuts

Now that's gross fat content... some of those nuts, like Almonds have way more good fats then bad fats in them while cashews and macadamias have lots of the bad fats. The softer and more buttery the nut, the worse it is for you as far as I understand.

LMBO

Pistachios are that low on the list??? Wow, It looks like Edgar Cace (sp?) was right about eating five almonds a day to improve your memory. Good fats are really good for you.

Does anyone know where I could order unsalted Cashews? They are Grace's favorite treat but I can only find them in mixes...

Now why did I have to read this at work? I think they are going to call mental health on me as I am rolling on the floor cracking up.

I don't know of any places online, but here we have a store called The Bulk Barn where they have every type of food, nut... etc. bulk. It's great for Casey because you don't have to buy a lot.


I know! This thread is definitely giving me my daily laugh!

Here's a few sites I've explored and I've used one of them...So hope that gives you some help.

I also think Foster Smith sell in bulk too but I'm not 100% sure on that anymore
