Thawed out frozen peas are a great food for fattening up uros. I haven't heard of a uro yet that has ever refused them. As soon as my mali sees me putting some in his food bowl, he'll rush over to eat them out of my hand before they land in the bowl
If it turns out that he really likes them, try mushing them up and mixing it with his regular food. It worked for mine at this time of year

Good luck
