Hope this helps.

to try and encourage him leave his salad bowl on his basking platform (not directly under teh light though) so its infront of him constantly,...mine started eating theirs really well when i did that.

Though i've never read they eat capsicum |

but they seem to eat anything and seem to love there veggies and fruits just as much as crickets and woodies.

if finding it hard to get these ,alternatives are bok choy leaves not stem until bigger & endive...
they generally dont touch them until 4-6 weeks old...dont stress!
Introduce the veg from day 1.....not that they'll eat it ...not that you will see them!
if you are worried at 6 weeks substitute 1st meal from live & wet some small cuts of greens & hand feed around 10-11am they should have a nibble then still feed live for the rest of the days meals... |
