Try feeding him waxworms (they're high in fat) and thawed frozen peas. There's a good chance he'll eat both readily. I haven't met a uro yet that doesn't care for peas.

Hope things work out, good luck

try red lentils, about 3 waxies every two weeks, and green beans. as long as you are not brumating it wont be a problem this should work. just make sure he keeps eatign his greens
