Thank you!  :icon_cheers:
Dad has just completed a new cage for him. It's much bigger and he seems extremely happy! He even climbed up and down my arm today which he has never done before!

I still can't find a fruit that he REALLY loves though.  :dontknow:

hi Doghouse135  :hello:

I've tried apple, grapes, sultanas, raisins and meal worms so far. I haven't tried strawberries yet and I'm not sure which other fruits to offer him. What other kinds can he eat?  :-\

Earlier today he was a sleep in his food dish!  :sign10: So I've bought him a little hammick to rest in during the day or when he feels to hot to go into his next box!  :hello2:

Robzy,

Mr Chippy is absolutely gorgeous and very photogenic :toothy4:

I feed mine apple, orange, pomegranate, grapes, strawberries, blackberries, cranberries, cherries (without the stone as its poisonous), plum (again without the stone), kiwi, dried bananna + mango. I also feed them currants and raisins.

They have a good mixture daily but usually not all of these all the time. They like change ;)

I also feed them a range of vegies, sweetcorn, brocolli, cawliflower, sprouts, tomato and lettuce. They will eat it all raw.

Hope I havent overloaded you now :sign10:

Thank you Sarah! That's great and it will give me a lot more things to try! I tried a strawberry earlier but he just sniffed it a little, took a bite and lost interest.

I'll be sure to try out something else tomorrow and I'll let you know as soon as I discover something he really enjoys. At the moment I've been using sun flower seeds to tame him a little and as treats. He likes them but not greatly.  :happy7:

If only he could tell me what his favourite was!!  :icon_cheers: :happy3:

Robzy,

I also feed mine extra nuts as well as whats in their mix. Hazlenuts, pinenuts (their favorite) and walnuts. You have to be very careful how many of these you give though as they are fattening. I use mine as treats, this helped greatly in the taming of them :hello2:
