Try adding chopped up earthworms with your sliced berries and dust some calcium powder over the meal.



Bananas while relished by boxies, are not a good food for them.... Very low calcium to phosphorus ratio which inhibits available calcium via Calcium binding.



In moderation bananas are fine.



Food Variety is the key.



If constructing a new pen; I would opt for a larger pen. Over time you will have easier chores, happier boxies, healthier boxies thereby making it much more cost efficient to build one larger now, and not regret it later. Space permitting build the largest one you can! My smallest is 10' x 15'.
