Best of luck to Cerybub. I still have some sugary cat treats (unopened) if you’d like them for hypos

Wow, for real? That expands your options

There’s the banana passionfruit too. It’s yellow. It says it prefers warm temperate to cool temperate but tolerates frosts? I don’t know if it would live. It would really depend on where in Canada.

It says it’s not really available in June and July (at least on that site) and the seeds are out of stock on another site.

The first link says something about quarantine zones within Australia too 🤔 There’s another thought. I don’t know if Canada has any laws or regulations on bringing in fruit or plants from other countries so maybe check that out first before you bring anything in

There’s some here, the bush tomato and finger lime look especially good. And they left off a big favourite, the lilly pilly tree. https://nurturedlife.com.au/bush-tucker-plants/

You’d probably want to research care and growing conditions though because even though Victoria is cool Canada might be even colder and prone to frost.

Edit: These claim to be frost tolerant

Good call. I kept seeing stuff with tea tree and pyrethrins too

Looking at floss on Kmart site, see a pet toothpaste that claims to contain fluoride. Isn’t that dangerous? Turns out yes, yes it is. The more you know. https://www.hillspet.com.au/pet-care/routine-care/dog-and-cat-toothpaste-and-toothbrushes
