Someone suggested bee pollen to someone. To be honest, I don't even remember if it was to me or someone else's that I read. But anyway, they said that their uro wasn't eating well when they first got it, so they put in bee pollen. what will this do?

It isn't a pick-me-up for all of them but does seem to act as an appetite stimulant. And, I'm sure anyone who regularly feed flowers to their lizards have noticed which part gets eaten first (& often in an instant of eyeing it), the stamen. You can mix it with their moistened greens &/or put it in the seed bowl.

no, bee pollen helps. it comes from flowers (and bees) and if you have ever fed a flower to a uro, then you will understand why they like bee pollen BUT it will lose its enticing powers overtime. it's is also good for them (and you). it has lots of nutrients

Thanks, Vonnie. I failed to mention that it's "magic" effect isn't something that persists. It's best used sparingly if the need is for appetite stimulation. With a healthy animal, though, it can be used on a fairly regular basis, me thinks.
