Hatching diet question

MMathis Feb 20, 2008 08:00 AM

At what age should I expect my babies to start eating their fruits & veggies? I offer them something every few days, but they're still only going for live foods. What I'm doing now is mixing their mealworms (for example) in with apples or sweet potato pulp hoping they'll accidently get a bite of that when they go for a "worm."

Also, what are some of the best fruits & veggies to start them on: something that will entice them?

They all seem happy & healthy and are growing.

Bananas and strawberries, chopped small. Blueberries are good too.

Back to my initial question: At what age should I expect my babies to start eating their fruits & veggies?
