Hi, we did get him back to eating. In fact now he is a pig. He still will not touch pellets and I thought we were going to be sunk on getting any vitamin a into him. BUT turns out he LOVES water plants like water hyacinth and stuff. He goes right thru them. In addition to that he has eaten collard greens, mealworms (gutloaded with veggies prior) and waxworms. He shuns silkworms and earthworms.

I know the mealworms and waxies are not ideal but... if we just do like one of them a day plus all the greenery I wonder if that will do it for him healthwise.

Anyone ever try the "fish gum drops"? they come in a variety of mixtures like beef heart and silversides among other things.
