I recently started introducing Harry weeds from outside (chemical-free), such as: dandelions, violets, plantain, deadnettle, chickweed. He is about 7-8 months.
He LOVES the flowers of dandelions and violets, but nibbles at the others and goes back to his hide or to bask.
I got him in Dec of last year and have been feeding him grocery foods such as "dandelion leaves", cactus, "chicories", kale, endives, escarole, "zoo med grassland pellets" once in a while, etc.
Is he just not used to the new foods? Should I start mixing in both grocery greens and the weeds?
I weigh him every Saturday. Last Saturday he was 74g. For the first time since I got him, he lost weight, and yesterday weighed 72 g... I feel so bad!
