Keep offering greens. Make sure to dice them small enough for him to eat. Add some apples, mangoes, grapes, strawberries, blueberries or peaches to get him to eat. Waxworms, hornworms, crickets or dubia roaches can also be mixed in or sprinkled on top. Be patient and offer fresh greens, fruits and vegetables daily. You can even handfeed him to get him started. Make sure he is well hydrated and has proper temperatures. Both play important roles in digestion in reptiles.
