I have owned my eastern box for about three years and have been unsuccessful in getting him to eat anything but berries and worms. Now I'm having trouble getting him to eat his berries. I've tried everything from chopping everything up into small pieces in a salad like mixture to simply placing his food on top of something like a lettuce leaf. He won't eat anything unless it is whole. I once even placed mealworms in smashed banana, and the mealworms that were partially in the banana just got part of their body bit off to prevent him from getting any banana into his mouth. I was just wondering if anyone had any more ideas (waiting him out has been unsuccessful so far). Plus I finally convinced my parents to let me build an outdoor cage for him and was wondering if anyone knew any wire I could use for the cage other than chicken wire, and would a ten foot by ten foot be too large of a cage? Thanks for the help.
