I feed mine fresh salad every day with birdseed in a bowl 24/7, and i feed her 3 insect a week. Mine wont eat fruits Razz

Some people might say that you shouldn't feed your uro with insects, but i haven't seen any problems yet, and my uro grows faster than the others in the same litter Smile

But i wouldn't recommend cabbage and such..

I feed mine greens (dandelion, kale, collards, endive, escarole, mustard greens, ROMAINE lettuce, etc.) and veggies (sweet red pepper, sweet potato, squash, zucchini, carrots, etc.) and a little bit of fruit (apples, berries, pear, melon, etc.) I dust everything with a bit of calcium powder.
