This may sound like a stupid question, but I am having some serious trouble finding something they:
1. Actually like to eat.
2. Something that they CAN eat. It seems like they have some difficulties when it comes to some common protein sources such as insects or seeds (even crushed).

I’ve tried giving them a variety of foods, but one of those two factors is always in the way. Anyone got any suggestions?
