yeah, they are fine, but not too much at a time due to the citric acid.

I don't know about kumquats. I have never fed these? I don't even know what those are?
Oranges are fine, but please don't feed too much. Fruit can start to 'yeast'?? in the crop.

I've seen kumquats at the grocery store, but they're to expensive. I've always wondered what they taste like, are they just citrucey?

Oh I love kumquat!!! My dad has a really huge tree of it! And when it's fruiting, it's just sooo full of the little fruits and I just pick them off and pop them in my mouth...WHOLE!! rind and all.. Very Happy The rind is actually the sweet part. The actual flesh is soooo sour!!! LOL.. even my parents german sheppard loves eating that stuff!! LOL...
