Like the other posters said, stay away from lettuces because it nutritionally lacking and will just take room in your Uro stomach that can be fill with more nutritious greens and veggies. I just got mine, too, a few days ago, and I feed mine dandelion green, mustard green, collard green, escarole, grated parsnips (great for protien and fiber), grated butternut squash (great color enhancer and very nutritious), and chopped up green beans. You can mix in bird seeds, lentil, peas, and alfalfa rabbit pellets, also, for extra protein. Occasionally I add things like kale, arugula, chards, endive and few other things to the mix just for varieties, but these greens can be pretty unhealthy if used in large amount since the either contain too much calcium oxalate (the stuff that binds with calcium and renders it useless to the animals that eats it) or goitrogen (the stuff that prevent the body from using iodine which if fed overtime can lead to hypothyroidism and then eventually death). I also feed mine a little crickets. He/she gets roughly about 60 percent greens/veggies and 40 percent animal protein like crickets and superworms as recommended by Randal Gray.
