mazuri pellets/eating habits

wbcrows Oct 13, 2007 09:19 AM

Ok I've had my maili since march 2007. He's doing fine but he won't eat the food if I put the ground up Mazuri on his food or the uro dust. He's eating frozen veggies and a little dandelions and bok choy. Not a voracious eater though. Temp is between 110 -120 in day time at basking site. Is he just finicky?

I'd highly suggest adding endive/escarole as a staple green along with the dandelion. I'd really reduce the frozen veggies to just treats, they're loaded with sugars that your Uro doesn't need. How about trying edible flowers? That might get the appetite going a bit. Also, try a pinch of bee pollen (found at health food stores) sprinkled on the salad once a week, it really kick-started Gizmo's eating when we got him in March.
