So I've had my little guy for a little over a week now and no matter what I try I can't seem to get him to eat. I'm getting scared that he might starve, any ideas??

I got a great feeding response with both eggs (including shell) and with a raw steak of yellow fin tuna....

It would help to know what you are offering it.

With my Colombian, once I started offering the turkey with cod liver oil, chicken hearts, beef hearts and such, she stopped eating the crickets, super worms and mice. The chicken hearts are her absolute favorite

Try the chicken hearts, I know every animal is different, however I can sometimes get her to eat something after I go back and rub the chicken heart on it. Also, what are you temps in the enclosure
