eating roots?

[threelilkids]

I keep seeing my 3mon old veiled sticking his mouth in the(real) pothos ivy dirt. I thought he was eating the dirt, then today I saw him push down deep and pull up a root or some kind of sprout, It was about 3" long, it took him awhile to get it down. Should I feed him some greens? I thought he was too young for them.

Sure, greens are great. Try some collards, mustard greens, dandelion greens, endive, escarole, squash, sweet pepper, sweet potato, strawberries, apples, oranges, papaya, raspberries, etc. Just make sure it's cut up really small for him, and no broccoli or spinach.

OK, Thanks I was feeding most on your list to the crickets, Crickets very happy. I would stress and worry myself to death if it wheren't for the guys and gals on this forum.
