The harder question to answer is how to get a frillie to eat fruits. Many have a hard time even eating veggies. Bananas are the only thing that my frilled will take. Frilleds dont really tend to like anything that doesnt move. The bananas seem to be fine though, and the usual assortment of veggies. But i will maybe give my frilled that offering about once every 2 weeks.

This is easy. I feed my Frilly all sorts of fruits. This is what you do:

Instead of throwing the crickets in the cage, wait 2 days and feed them one by one by hand. Do that for about a week

Then start feeding them blueberries and raspberries and move them around their mouth. Be patient and they should chomp them up.

well ill see if he wants any fruits. i ran through a couple days dry period with his food and tried to get him to eat turkey and baby food during that period. unfortunately he didnt seem interested. I wonder why he'll eat pinkies no problem but when i feed turket shaped like a pinkie (just to try and fool him) hes uninterested and wont eat it.

But banana's and berries huh? ill have to give that a try.

lastly does anyone know if they will eat hard boiled eggs? my local herp expert told me to feed him eggs once in a while if i want to change up his diet. because they eat that stuff normally in the wild.
