hey guys. Phoenix is going on around a year and a half soon. he eats his crix like crazy and occasional super/meal/wax worms. but will not touch his greens no matter what i do! i have tried:
dipping it in water and hand feeding
placing in basking spot
adding different colors
moving it with my finger
adding a few worms to it(he just picks them out. i tried it so many time he got better at just getting around the greens i think...lol)
none of this really worked. once in a while i can get him to eat a few bites or carrot/squash or grape when i hand feed. but only a few bites. otherwise the only veggies/fruit i can get in him is when he didnt eat anything i fed him all natural squash baby food with a sryng. that was about 4 months ago. since he is eating criz but not veggies. he didnt like the feeding that way(i think he liked the food, just not the sryng part) so i dont want to do it again. but if i really have to i will. i am worried becae as they get older they are supposed to have mostly veggies and bit of live food. he has almos all live food because he wont eat his veggies. it also effects his pooping. with all that protien but no fider it binds him up. the only way he poops is in about a 30-45 minute bath with me rubbing his belly the ENTIRE time. and that gets old very very fast. pleeeease help. i just dont know what to do anymore!!!
