I don't know about fruit baby-food but I've used chicken baby food and they do the same thing. As a matter of fact, my poor little carrottail is on it right now! Works great.

does it get em to start eating again?

It doesn't get them to eat again. Its really for if the leo has parasites you feed them baby food like chicken or beef flavored just so they don't starve and then when they are healthy they will eat again.

I tried using chicken and veggie baby food, it seemed ok the first few times, but now every time I try to give it to her she kinda gags. It's a horrible sight, we are going to the vet tomorow to find out whats up. I think her problem is because of something eles and not because of the baby food. Best of luck,
