Lentils are great in small quantities. However, if your uro is not eating much of anything else, I wouldn't give lentils until he starts eating his greens well. If he eats nothing but lentils, he's likely to dehydrate himself. Just keep offering a good variety of healthy greens and shredded veggies - he won't starve himself if he's healthy. Try a few mashed up green peas and some shredded butternut squash. You can also pull apart a yellow dandelion head (free of any pesticides) and mix that in. All those things tend to be very, very attractive to uros.
