    Well I have and Argentine one, but I can tell you how I made him start eating fruits. One of the first dishes of Juancho was raw egg so since they love eggs then he started eating everything I put into the eggs. I started with banana. After a couple of times I used fruits alone, specially sweet ones since they love sweet things like cherries, plums and grapes. Well, the rest is just history as you can see in my videos! Good luck with yours!

    yeah it's a good method, putting vegetables into other food. You can also do a little mix of fruits and vegetables, put it in the mixer. And you can mix it with the meat.

    I do this kind of method with my BTS, just mix some vegetable (alfalfa,endive carrot) with the turkey or tuna. :lol:

    Good luck!

    gebris353,
    I have to thank you this has changed our world
    she gets so excited everyday now and she waits in the kitchen and I make what I call the angelrose puree.
    1 raw egg,calcium / D3 sprinkle, the meat or fish of the day, with a dash of maybe bananna or cantalope so far.
    as you said she loved the raw egg 'too much' now I am not worrying so much that she is not getting what she needs. it's all one big slurpee

    That's great! Angelrose seems to be very intelligent waiting for you, so does Juancho, I do the same mix. I used the calcium and vitamins the first years, first cause mine eats everything and doesnt need it but the main problem is that we dont find that stuff here specially for reptiles, there is always some other components mixed that wont really help them so I chose a better diet instead. Now you only have to take some pics!

    gebris353 :lol: :lol: :lol: that's funny, she must be intelligent because she is still training me. I think it's just the opposite here, there is so much stuff to choose from I get confused. funny you mention pictures I am working on that on the side of side things to do. I would like you to see all my babies and see what your help has made Angelrose look like now
