Obviously i wont be able to leave the strawbs or apple in over night coz they go yuck quickly.... should i dust his "salad".... or try and get him eatting it with out the powder....he's a fussy lil bludger lol. Will get some wombok, bukchoy, endive & mustard greens and give it a go.... would be awesome if he just ate it on his own so i could leave it there and know he was eatting it lol he;s not interested if it doesnt move or im not physically feeding it to him.... so i should be giving him veggies each day??

Can you pm me with weight in grams & length tip to svl &tip to tail...may help.
Also earth worms are high in protein, you dont have to do anything to them & entices them to eat on their own.
