Pollen. anything with a flower will get them going. Dandelions are easy to find and if they aren't in season head down to a heath food store and get some bee pollen.

hope that helps.

"dont become classified. if you are nothing, then you can be anything."

you can offer all the best palatable foods, however without good husbandry practice an animal will simply go off feed and slowly perish. most pepoles dont provide good caging, temps, humidity, and they also over manipulate their animals, physical and environmental stress is not something you can see without experience, however this stress is real and kills 100.000s reptiles every year.

I believe that Jobi sums up the most important point that someone can make regarding uromastyx.

Jobi's post stresses something that I always try to get across whether the discussion is about poor eating habits, staying in a hide for the majority of the day, illness, lethargy, or any other uromastyx concern or issue.

Although this point can be true with almost any reptile, I find it especially true with uromastyx and it cannot be stressed enough.
