Food for E's

Post by winks56 » Thu Jul 24, 2014 6:27 pm

Hi everyone!
So I have heard that E's are pretty picky. I'm planning on getting some later this month and I'm a little confused on what to feed them. What are some recommendations you guys have on food that E's REALLY love?
Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!

Mine seem to love
blueberries
grapes
pineapple
pork is a favorite
live mealworms (they will tear apart about 6 in an hour)

*mine are not that picky, thank goodness! But I hope that yours go easier on you in the future!

If it smells great and if they can pick it apart they will love it.

Fortunately, my Es don't seem to be picky and are, generally, even better eaters than my PPs. However, anything meaty (especially if it's very fresh) or sweet is eaten particularly well. They also go crazy for nuts and fatty things.
