Aside from individual food preferences amongst every Uro, their age can also be a factor. Younger Uros may prefer a moistened seed whereas an adult may accept dried, or both. We've seen sporadic tastes for lentils across the board but nearly 100% acceptance of dried mung beans for juvies & older. Try them! Also consider buckwheat groats, oat groats, bulghur wheat, barley, rabbit pellets, canary food, etc. The list is long & I believe many Uro keepers keep their dietary offerings way too restricted & biased on the moist leafy side. I see these pictures posted with a "happy looking" Uro grazing on a bowl of luscious wet green salad all the time. This is NOT representative of their diet in the wild. Dry camel poop fulfills their nutritional needs more than Publix greens. Just nasty food for thought!
