I've been worried about him not eating his greens and veggies, but I was wondering if maybe that instinct would come in once he was 2 years old (he's about 1 1/2 right now)? I got him to eat some today by basically just holding it in front of his mouth until he tested it with his tongue, and then when he licked his lips I gently eased the piece of greens into his mouth. He ate it but wouldn't eat anymore, or even look at them. I don't think he likes them, how am I supposed to get him to eat them?

I'm looking for any tips or tricks you have. I want to try putting in some waxworms once I can buy some, but I want to know how else I can get him to eat the greens, especially if he doesn't like them. What will happen if he continues to eat vegetables only on rare occasions (like once or twice a week, and then it's usually just a piece of carrot or a piece of greens or something).

later
