My uro Buddy will not eat his seeds. All he does is walk and run throu them. Big mess. He is eating his greens and vegis very well. Should i keep the seeds still in his enclosure or take them out? I haven't put any in his home for a feww weeks

No sense in putting them there if he's not going to eat them. I wouldn't worry about it though, some uros just don't like seeds.
Have you tried him with the Juvi Iggy pellets yet?

No I haven't. Are you sure that they can eat ig pellets because if they can that would be good for emergencies like the possible threat of Hurricane France that may be heading my way. I know that the greens that I will have for him and our iguana Tiny won't stay good.

Yes, they can eat ig pellets (make sure it's the juvi kind and not the adult formula). It's not recommended as a staple but it'll do if you don't have any greens available. You can give both greens and iggy pellets to your uro as the pellets are veggie and fruit based. For extra moisture, soak the pellets in water for a few minutes then give them to your uro.

I hope this helps.

Thank you so much. I will only use it if the hurricane comes and we have no electricity. Buddy is eating good now and a change will throw him off again
