ha-ha stubborn isn't the word for Phoenix,lol. what I've decided to do is when he gets up, i turn the lights on, let them warm, then its
bath time for him (his favorite part of the day) then i have decided to take him out of his Viv and offer his salad to him where there are no distractions, just me and him, he tries to play me more and more because last night he got in the plate ate the worms but would actually let the veggies fall out of his mouth lol and he was still hungry so he climbed up my leg and gave me that sweet dragon face he gives when he wants out, but I'm not going to cave. my vet told me his body is getting to the point it needs what is in the salad mixture, that i have to be strong and find a way to make that salad appealing. this being the first time i used banana since he loves it, and more fruits to see if that would spark some interest... :| i have decided that i will drop 10 worms in the salad, if he digs them all out that's just too bad. lets just hope this works, he's a big baby all the time so i feel bad for doing him this way but it has to be done. the doc said he is just not eating the salad because the better stuff he knows is coming later at night. he did tell me to keep offering the live food just to cut the amount i have been giving him down so that he will be hungry and take to the salad faster.... he says the key is consistency.... well i'm going to look up / make some lists of different salads i can make, next week my phoenxi worms will be here so that will probably helps too...
also silkworms, where can i find some of these? my doc recommended them, he said it was great he loved the phoenix worms but to try silkworms too. anyone have a good, reliable place to order from??
