Cat food really isn't all that great for them. The last thing his organs need is a big increase in dietary fat. I'd stick with invertebrates for the meat part of his diet, and for supplements use reptile or bird vitmains.

I'm assuming you've tried greens with no luck. How about papaya? Probably the best fruit you can give them. Strawberry and zuchini are good too and will generally be accepted even by those that aren't crazy about vegetables. Banana is also a big hit, so much so that you might be able to mash shredded greens in with it and get him to take them that way.

You can gutload mealworms and superworms by feeding them turtle food, with sweet potato for moisture, and you'll probably also have no trouble getting him to eat silkworms or hornworms. Or.. really any other feeder bug. Getting them to eat meat is the easy part, it's vegetables that they sometimes give you trouble on.
