We have had Faf for about 9 months. We suspect he is 2-3 yrs old, but we don't know for sure. He used to eat LOADS of veggies- mustard greens, squash of all kinds, peppers, the occasional raspberry or other fruit slivered in there. Over the winter, he did a semi-brumation thing---his appetite cut back a lot, he woke up late and went to bed early. Well, he came back to life in March and though he's more awake and active, his eating hasn't quite caught up. He eats his insects, yes, but no veggies to speak of. I've been "tricking" him by putting the worms/roaches on the veggies...that worked for a little while (and he still only got a piece or two). The jig is up now though. If I put the insects on the veggies, he either waits until they come up to the surface enough to where he won't have to touch the vile weeds, or he just won't eat.
I've tried the paper towel trick...no luck.
I've tried putting a worm with a piece of veggie in the tongs to hand feed...not buying it.
I've tried other veggies, chard, herbs, even carrots...not having it.
Ive tried dicing, slicing, slivering, mincing...hell to the naw.
