still not eating veggies

[*~* ßêR *~*]

ok im trying something different today.  zoe hasn't really eatten veggies in over a week or two, and i don't know if it's because of what i was offering her or because of the parasites.  ever since i found this site i was giving her collard greens, turnip greens, kale, and parsley (all mixed together at once).  since losing stripe i started having to throw away large amounts of greens.  so a couple weeks ago i decided to just go thru one type of green at a time.  i started out with mustard greens, which she didn't touch.  so today i put in her viv collard greens, because i know thats one of the things she always used to eat.  and then on a different little dish i put cut up strawberries and some grated acorn squash (kept seperated).  im thinking that maybe she's not eating her salads because i've been putting them all together in one dish so if she doesn't like something, she might not be touching the whole thing?  i guess this is my way of testing if she likes something or not.  i don't know guys, wish me luck here.  she used to eat 2 or 3 salads a day, so this is a drastic change.  i WILL get her to eat veggies again!!

Good luck!
I know first hand the veggie frustration, I bought almost every different fruit/veggie in the supermarket when I first got my BDs and even then they were stubborn about it:( I ended up with a 50$ vibrating food dish which I no longer use, and a dislike for stir-frys, because thats all I ate for a week LOL. Keep trying Amber, I'm sure they will chow down soon:)

I know how you feel. I was trying to introduce lettuce (not iceburg kind) at 2 weeks in very small peaces and they never touched them so I tryed a little tatic of not giving them any crickets except a few each day but have lettuce in their tank and 1 of them started to eat it and slowly each of them started to eat it to. once they got use to eating it I cut back and gave them crickets mostly with a dusting of Calcium with Vit. D3 and I started to give them alphalfa sprouts and they realy enjoyed it. and I cut up small peaces of apple and they love that to.

You don't want to feed them lettuce.

Lettuce doesn't have any nutritional value at all.  Try ripping up some mustard, collard, or turnip greens.  Mustard greens more closely resemble lettuce. All of these have calcium and other vitamins that is good for your guys. I also find, in my location anyway, that they are a heck of a lot cheaper than lettuce
